About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Space Shuttle Columbia outraces the multi-colored clouds of smoke and steam rising below it from Launch Pad 39A as it races toward space on mission STS-107. Following a flawless and uneventful countdown, liftoff occurred on-time at 10:39 a.m. EST. The 16-day research mission includes FREESTAR (Fast Reaction Experiments Enabling Science, Technology, Applications and Research) and the SHI Research Double Module (SHI/RDM), known as SPACEHAB.
