Lift off of Space Shuttle Discovery

#otd Orbiter Discovery OV-103 lifts off on the first post-Challenger night launch, November 22, 1989. This picture shows a side view of Discovery, one of its two solid rocket boosters (SRB) and the external tank. It shows a good example of the "diamond shock" effect, in the plume from the main engine, associated with Shuttle launches. #orbiterdiscovery #spaceshuttlediscovery #spaceshuttle #ov103 #nasa #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari #aviationadventures
