Night Launch of STS-67 and A …

Title	Night Launch of STS-67 and ASTRO-2
Description	The Space Shuttle Endeavour embarks on NASA's longest Shuttle flight to date, carrying a complement of unique telescopes that will give astronomers a view of the universe impossible to obtain from the ground. Endeavour's liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 1:38:13 a.m. EST, March 2. Mission STS-67 is commanded by Stephen S. Oswald, William G. Gregory is the pilot, Tamara E. Jernigan is payload commander, Wendy B. Lawrence is a mission specialist and flight engineer, John M. Grunsfeld also is a mission specialist, and Samuel T. Durrance and Ronald A. Parise are the payload specialists. Endeavour's mission is scheduled to last 15 days, 13 hours, allowing the crew to conduct around-the- clock observations with the Astro-2 observatory, a trio of telescopes designed to study the universe of ultraviolet astronomy. Because of Earth's protective ozone layer, ultraviolet light from celestial objects does not reach ground-based telescopes, and such studies can only be conducted from space. The 68th flight of the Space Shuttle program -- the eighth for Endeavour -- is scheduled to conclude with a landing at the Kennedy Space Center.

At a groundbreaking ceremony, participants and guests get ready to dig in, signifying the start of construction on a new roadway through KSC. It is the start of a construction project that includes the Space Experiment Research & Processing Laboratory (SERPL). From left are Dr. Pamella J. Dana, from the executive office of Florida?s governor, Jeb Bush, Deputy Associate Administrator Michael Hawes, Space Station, NASA, Sen. George Kirkpatrick, Spaceport Florida Authority Executive Director Ed Gormel, Executive Director Dr. Samuel T. Durrance, Florida Space Research Institute, Florida?s Lt. Gov. Frank Brogan, Congressman Dave Weldon, Center Director Roy Bridges Jr., SFA SERPL Program Manager Debra Holliday, KSC SERPL Program Manager Jan Heuser, District Manager Cheryl Harrison-Lee, Florida Department of Transportation, State Senator Jim Sebesta, and KSC Director JoAnn H. Morgan, External Relations and Business Development. The project is enabled by a partnership and collaboration between NASA and the State of Florida to create a vital resource for international and commercial space customers. SERPL is considered a magnet facility, and will support the development and processing of life sciences experiments destined for the International Space Station and accommodate NASA, industry and academic researchers performing associated biological research
