| KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -–
Space Shuttle Discovery bursts from Launch Pad 39A, marking a perfect liftoff
at the start of STS-105. Discovery will be transporting the Expedition Three
crew and several payloads and scientific experiments to the International
Space Station. The Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS) tank, which will support
the thermal control subsystems until a permanent system is activated, will
be attached to the Station during two spacewalks. The three-member Expedition
Two crew will be returning to Earth aboard Discovery after a five-month
stay on the Station. |
