About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Moments after liftoff on mission STS-120, space shuttle Discovery's solid rocket boosters spew columns of fire, creating clouds of smoke and steam below on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. At right is the 300,000-gallon water tower that provides water for the sound suppression system during liftoff, which occurred on time at 11:38:19 a.m. EDT. Discovery carries the Italian-built U.S. Node 2, called Harmony.
