NASA Space Shuttle Discovery lifted from Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida at 6:21 am (1021 GMT) Monday, 5 April 2010 as scheduled toward the International Space Station for a mission that will put more women in orbit than ever before.The aircraft is planned to be located 13 days in outer space international station and bring the 7 astronauts with a mission to bring supplies.
The Easter Monday launch is apparently progressing smoothly after the external fuel tanks were filled yesterday in preparation.
The weather forecast appears to be good so far although there are some reports of fog due.The two booster rockets, which account for 80 percent of the shuttle’s lift during takeoff, peeled away as planned 120 seconds after the launch. They fell into the Atlantic Ocean, where they will be subsequently retrieved and reused.
The shuttle reached Earth’s orbit eight and a half minutes after launch, moving at five times the speed of sound to reach 16,155 miles (26,000 kilometers) per hour.Once it goes into orbit some 140 miles (225 km) above Earth, Discovery will begin its race toward the ISS, itself located 213 miles (343 km) above Earth.
