View of the shuttle Discovery on the launch pad just prior to STS 51-D launch
Just below center of this scene is a distant representation of a large ignition as the Shuttle Discovery lifts off from a Kennedy Space Center (KSC) launch pad. The ignition can be seen through the fronds of the trees. Birds in flight frame the light spot representing the orbiter as it launches.
