Launch Time: 1943h EDT
Launch Site: LC-39A
Site: North part of 528 on Port Canaveral
Description: It wasn't a night launch. It was more like a dusk launch. The shuttle exhaust trail was partially illuminated by the last gleam of sun on the horizon.
As the shuttle blaze reflected on the water, Chris stood up, while Joe, Anna and Kelley watched on.
Two white specks underneath the bright white spec indicated successful separation of solid rocket boosters.
