About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Endeavour is moments away from launching as sparks fly below the shuttle's main engines. The 'sparklers' are the external ignitors which burn off any concentration of hydrogen present in the vicinity of the engines. The cloud forming behind the shuttle's solid rocket booster and the pad's access arm is created by spray from the water deluge system.
