Endeavour Lifts Off on its Last Mission
Loading...
Uploaded by NASAtelevision on May 16, 2011
The STS-134 crew led by Commander Mark Kelly are on their way to the International Space Station after launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 8:56 a.m. EDT Monday, May 16. The crew of Kelly, pilot Greg Johnson, mission specialists Mike Fincke, Drew Feustel, Greg Chamitoff and European Space Agency astronaut Roberto Vittori will deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 (AMS) and critical supplies to the space station. The supplies include two communications antennas, a high-pressure gas tank and additional parts for the Dextre robot. The AMS is a particle physics detector designed to search for various types of unusual cosmic matter. The crew also will transfer Endeavour's orbiter boom sensor system, where it could assist spacewalkers as an extension for the station's robotic arm. The STS-134 mission is the next-to-last for the Space Shuttle Program and the final one for shuttle Endeavour.

@aimhigh59 thanks it just seemed to be a little more debris then previous launches and it was so clearly visible. Enjoy the last launch in July!

@MaistoHelix Many things come off the orbiter on purpose at launch. Many thruster rain covers on the fwd and aft come off by design, vapor barriors in the ET tank umbilical area come off and hydrogen burn indicators come off near the aft along with some unwanted ice and foam.

Space exploration/ Science/ Engineering videos get such a small fraction of the Internet's attention. It is shameful that this is so. I'm probablly preaching to the choir here, but C'MON! We are riding colossal, controlled explosions to perpetually fall around our Earth's center of mass! Not only that, but we have built a house-sized artificial moon that six people live in (ISS). Amidst all our metaphoric (and literal) poo-slinging, I'm looking up, and hopefully more people look up soon.
