Title : Clouds of smoke and steam roll across the ground as Space Shuttle Discovery hurtles
Caption :
(08/10/2001) -- Clouds of smoke and steam roll across the ground as Space Shuttle Discovery hurtles into the blue sky against a backdrop of cumulus clouds. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 5:10:14 p.m. EDT. Besides the Shuttle crew of four, Discovery carries the Expedition Three crew who will replace Expedition Two on the Space Station. The mission payload includes the third flight of the Italian-built Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, delivering additional scientific racks, equipment and supplies for the Space Station, and the Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS) tank. The EAS, which will be attached to the Station during two spacewalks, contains spare ammonia for the Station’s cooling system. The three-member Expedition Two crew will be returning to Earth aboard Discovery after a five-month stay on the Station
