Air Force launches 6 satellites from Alabama-built rocket

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A cluster of experimental research satellites have been launched for the Air Force.

The six satellites for the Space Test Program-1 mission were launched just after ten eastern time last night on an Alabama-built Atlas Five rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. [...]

There is no truth to the rumor that each of the six cylindrical satellites were deployed by rolling down the window and throwing them at stop signs.
