Space shuttle Discovery is silhouetted against Florida’s pre-dawn, cloud-streaked sky as it makes the slow 3.4-mile trek to Launch Pad 39A. The shuttle travels atop the mobile launcher platform, which is moved by the massive crawler-transporter beneath. Discovery is targeted to launch on mission STS-119 to the International Space Station in February. During Discovery’s 14-day mission, the crew will install the final truss segment and its solar arrays to the starboard side of the station. The addition will enable a six-person crew to live there starting in May.

Always wonderful. Always reblogged, sorry.

Fire seems to surround Launch Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida as space shuttle Discovery leaps from the pad to begin its STS-119 mission.
