astronomicalconsiderations: Incredibly detailed picture of the final launch of the Endeavour space schuttle. Astronomy Picture of the Day 5/18. I totally missed Endeavour’s launch. I tried to keep track, but they had to keep postponing. Hey, as a consolation, there are many great pics! And below is that amazing iphone pic Stefanie Gordon took aboard a plane. Endeavour launched without a hitch and has successfully docked at the ISS!   High-res

unknownskywalker: Mach Diamonds Discovery rockets into the blue sky above Launch Pad 39A after liftoff on the STS-133 mission in Feb. 25, 2011. Beneath Discovery’s three main engines are blue cones of light, known as shock or mach diamonds, which are a formation of shock waves in the exhaust plume of an aerospace propulsion system. Wow. This just became my favorite pic of Discovery’s launch.   High-res

ISS Assembly

Watch the International Space Station assembly in 2 minutes, from the launch of the first segment in 1998 to today and beyond.

Watch the space station grow in this neat little vid. The ISS is a project of 5 space agencies: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the European Space Agency (ESA), the Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
