Space Shuttle Discovery launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6.21aET on Monday April 5 2010. It marks the beginning of the 131st Space Shuttle mission, which is planned to last for 13 days. Its the 33rd flight to the ISS. It will be the last mission with a crew of 7 people. As payload on board Discovery this mission features a large cargo module, called MPLM Leonardo, and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Equipment Support Structure Carrier. Besides those items in the payload bay of the Shuttle, there are various scientific experiments that flew to orbit on the middeck of the Space Shuttle. This mission will see three spacewalks of crewmembers Clay Anderson and Rick Mastracchio. Landing is planned to take place on April 18th. We saw a beautiful launch, all the calls we can hear are standard. All rights belong to NASA TV
