STS-39 Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, lifts off from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39A at 7:33:14 am (Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)). This side view shows OV-103, its external tank (ET), and one of its two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) as it rises into the early morning sky after clearing the fixed service structure (FSS) tower. Space shuttle main engine (SSME) firings are visible and produce small exhaust plumes. Silhouetted against the SRB/SSME glow in the foreground are trees and Florida's characteristic tropical foliage. An exhaust cloud forms in the launch pad area.
