Title
STS-56 Launch
Full Description
The second try works like a charm as the Space Shuttle Discovery lifts off from
Launch Pad 39B on Mission STS-56 at 1:29:00 a.m., EDT, April 8. First attempt to
launch Discovery on its 16th space voyage was halted at T-11 seconds on April 6.
Aboard for the second Space Shuttle mission of 1993 are a crew of five and the
Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science 2 (ATLAS 2), the second in a
series of missions to study the sun's energy output and Earth's middle
atmosphere chemical makeup, and how these factors affect levels of ozone.
