Launch of a new endeavour
#OTD in 1992, Endeavour became NASA's fifth space shuttle orbiter to launch into space! The shuttle performed "like an old pro" according to Commander Daniel C. Brandenstein, but its mission was challenging.
About STS-49's many firsts: go.nasa.gov/3Sk1VQr
ALT STS-49, the first flight of space shuttle Endeavour, lifts off from the launch pad amidst plumes of exhaust on the evening of May 7, 1992. The STS-49 mission was the first U.S. orbital flight to feature 4 extravehicular activities (EVAs), and the first flight to involve 3 crew members working simultaneously outside of the spacecraft. The primary objective was the capture and redeployment of the INTELSAT VI (F-3) which was stranded in an unusable orbit.

It was great to see @NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers successfully execute U.S. spacewalk 93 this morning – an exhilarating way to start the day! I can assure you, a spacewalk – or an Extravehicular Activity, to utilize the technical nomenclature – gives one a whole different perspective on life. Congratulations to the entire NASA team for a job well done!

Outstanding achievement in every respect: the engineering, the aviation and the amazing skill of flight crew and ground crew.
I have loved learning more about this through #16sunsets #podcast series presented by @Kevin_Fong and produced by the @telltale_studio team.

Apollo 13 launched 55 years ago today with relatively little fanfare.
It wasn't until two days into this mission to the Moon, that an oxygen tank on the spacecraft exploded, and the race to rescue the crew began. Follow along in real time: apolloinrealtime.org/13/
ALT The Apollo 13 space vehicle begins its liftoff from Pad A Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), at 2:13 p.m. (EST), April 11, 1970. The exhaust from the Saturn V rocket shines a brilliant yellow, lighting up the rocket and launch tower. The scene is reflected in the still water of the foreground, framed by trees and plants silhouetted on either side.
