About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The Space Shuttle Columbia on Pad 39A 'watches' the picture-perfect ascent of sister ship Discovery after liftoff of STS-31. This was the first time since January 1986 that there was a Shuttle on each pad, which are separated by 1.6 miles. Discovery, carrying a five-member crew and the Hubble SpaceTelescope, lifted off at 8:34 EDT, April 24. Columbia, with its Astro-1 observatory, is scheduled for launch in May.
