STS-47 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, lifts off from Kennedy Space  
Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) 39 pad at 10:23:00:0680 am (Eastern

tank (ET), and  right solid rocket booster (SRB), just after space shuttle 
main engine and  SRB firing and liftoff from the mobile launcher platform.  
The diamond shock  effect is visible at the SSMEs.  As OV-105 rises above 
the LC pad beginning  its second trip into space, the fixed service 
structure (FSS) and retracted  rotating service structure (RSS) are seen in 
the background.  In the  foreground, mobile lighting fixtures (spotlights) 
are visible.
