Endeavour Lifts Off After O Ring Repairs On Mission
The space shuttle Endeavour launched from Cape Canaveral with five astronauts on a mission to release and recapture two science satellites. Insulation was added to O ring seals after recent heat damage found on other shuttles, a precaution following Challenger disaster. NASA noted it could take days to confirm the O rings avoided heat damage during ascent, while prior booster repairs and a late power generator issue delayed the flight by almost five weeks.
