The STS-119 space shuttle Discovery mission has taken off from Earth to its journey to the International Space Station. At the same time, the ISS may have to be boosted to a higher orbit in order to avoid another piece of potentially dangerous space junk.
The space shuttle Discovery and its seven-member STS-119 crew lifted off from its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, at 7:43 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on Sunday evening, March 15, 2009.
It is now on its way to deliver the last major piece for the assembly of the Space Station, the fourth and final set of power-generating solar array wings. The mission also sends a Japanese astronaut to the International Space Station.
For additional information on the launch of the thirteen-day mission of STS-119, please go to the Los Angeles Times article “Discovery takes off – finally.”
About this same time, the three crewmembers living at the Space Station learned that another pesky and potentially dangerous piece of space debris (junk) is approaching their orbiting space habitat.
The piece of orbiting space junk is projected to come within one-half mile of the Space Station on Tuesday, March 17, 2009.
NASA is considering whether to boost the ISS to a higher orbit on Monday, March 16th in order to make sure there is not a collision between the Space Station and the approaching piece of space junk.
