Something every person should do in their lifetime is watch a rocket or space shuttle launch. Since this is getting harder and harder, and most folks don’t live in a convenient area for viewing launches, here’s one of the best launches filmed on video. STS-119 (ISS assembly flight 15A) was a space shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) which was flown by Space Shuttle Discovery during March 2009.


It delivered and assembled the fourth starboard Integrated Truss Segment (S6), and the fourth set of solar arrays and batteries to the station. The launch took place on March 15, 2009, at 7:43 p.m. EDT. Discovery successfully landed on March 28, 2009, at 3:13 p.m. EDT.
