Description: 
 
Launch of the shuttle Challenger begining of the STS 61-A mission. Views  
include photo taken from just below the orbiter as it begins its launch  
ascent (017); Almost all the service structure/gantry is obscured by smoke  
from the boosters firing in this view of Challenger's launch (018); Florida  
vegetation partially frames this scene  of the launch of the Challenger  
during STS 61-A (019).
