The elegant stream of incandescent light in NASA's featured picture from September 2 denotes the path taken by an Atlas V rocket (an expendable launch system) last Thursday morning over Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

NASA's twin Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSPs) are currently in separate orbits within the forbidding Van Allen radiation belts, their mission being to explore the dynamic conditions of these belts. Most spacecraft vehicles avoid these fiery radiation belts.
