| Description |
STS-28 Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 102, is framed by Florida vegetation as it soars toward space from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex Pad 39B. Two exhaust plumes created by the solid rocket boosters (SRBs) leave LC Pad 39B covered in a cloud. OV-102's top side is visible as it rises above pad on the external tank (ET) and SRBs. OV-102 renews flight after a period of three and a half years with five crewmembers aboard. The last time OV-102 was in space was in January of 1986. |
