About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — As if rising from a bed of clouds, space shuttle Discovery leaps toward the sky, propelled by columns of fire from the solid rocket boosters, from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Liftoff was on time at 11:38:19 a.m. EDT. Discovery carries the Italian-built U.S. Node 2, called Harmony. During the 14-day STS-120 mission, the crew will install Harmony and move the P6 solar arrays to their permanent position and deploy them.
