There's a tracking device on the Atlas that communicates telemetry to a receiver on the camera which keeps it trained on the rocket. Not unlike an F-16 getting "tone" on an enemy aircraft.

what happens to the rockets and the payload once they've done their job? Just waste the shite and let it stay up in space?
Seems like they would save enough fuel for all these parts for re entry with chute landings in the ocean for recovery.
