STS-35 Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 102, atop its external tank (ET) and flanked by two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) lifts off from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39B at 1:49 am (Eastern Standard Time (EST)). OV-102 rises above mobile launcher pad as an exhaust cloud, illuminated by the glow of the SRB and space shuttle main engine (SSME) firings, covers the launch pad area. The launch tower's fixed service structure (FSS) and retracted rotating service structure (RSS) are highlighted against the early morning darkness by SRB/SSME glow and tower spotlights.
