Spaceflight SSO-A Mission

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Billows of smoke and steam rise alongside space shuttle Discovery as it lifts off Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, racing toward space on the STS-128 mission. Liftoff was on time at 11:59 p.m. EDT. The first launch attempt on Aug. 24 was postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions. The second attempt on Aug. 25 also was postponed due to an issue with a valve in space shuttle Discovery's main propulsion system. The STS-128 mission is the 30th International Space Station assembly flight and the 128th space shuttle flight. The 13-day mission will deliver more than 7 tons of supplies, science racks and equipment, as well as additional environmental hardware to sustain six crew members on the International Space Station. The equipment includes a freezer to store research samples, a new sleeping compartment and the COLBERT treadmill. Photo credit: NASA/Tony Gray-Tom Farrar KSC-2009-4937

description

Zusammenfassung

S63-22731 (31. Januar 1961) --- Der Start der Suborbitalmission Merkur-Redstone 2 (MR-2) von Cape Canaveral, Florida, am 31. Januar 1961. An Bord des Raumschiffes befand sich? Ham?, ein 37 Pfund schwerer Schimpanse. Trotz eines Überbeschleunigungsfaktors galt der Flug als erfolgreich. Nach der Genesung schien sich Ham in einem guten physiologischen Zustand zu befinden, doch als ihm einige Zeit später die Merkur-Sonde gezeigt wurde, war visuell offensichtlich, dass er kein Interesse mehr an einer Zusammenarbeit mit dem Raumfahrtprogramm hatte.
