STS-114 Space Shuttle Discovery launch on NASA’s Return-to-Flight mission

After a two-and-a-half-year wait, everything finally came together on July 26, 2005. The weather was perfect at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where Space Shuttle Discovery stood on its seaside launch pad. At 10:39 am EDT, Discovery’s twin white Solid Rocket Boosters thundered to life, carrying a crew of seven explorers on one of the most complicated and closely watched missions in history. “Liftoff of Space Shuttle Discovery, beginning America’s new journey to the Moon, Mars and beyond,” exclaimed launch commentator George Diller. During this test mission, NASA accomplished a variety of goals while also learning some important lessons. At liftoff, a large piece of insulating foam broke off the External Tank. Now, NASA engineers are working to determine what caused this and how to prevent it from happening in the future. The first of two Return to Flight missions, STS-114 included breathtaking in-orbit maneuvers, tests of new equipment and procedures, a first-of-its-kind spacewalking repair, and phone calls from two world leaders.
