Discovery was successfully launched on Wednesday 4 July 2:38 GMT+8. It’s now travelling on 24000km/h to the International Space Station.
According to the previous report, there were foams cracks on the tank but Wayne Hale, the Space Shuttle Programme Manager said yesterday that there was an great improvement over the tank. The camera on the tank would take more images for analysis before it’s left out. The crewmembers will also check their shuttle on the ISS to ensure their safety.
Anyway, the shuttle is planned to be docked on the ISS this Thursday.
