US space shuttle Endeavour launched from Florida

The US space shuttle Endeavour has blasted off from its Florida home port on a rare night launch, carrying equipment bound for the International Space Station. Endeavour will take the first part of a Japanese space lab to the ISS during the 16-day mission. The seven-strong crew will install a two-armed robot designed to carry out repairs outside the orbiting space station. Endeavour, which flew its first mission in 1992, is expected to spend 12 days at the ISS. After Endeavour leaves the ISS, Europe's first cargo ship, an unmanned Automated Transfer Vehicle called Jules Verne, will get its chance to dock. The ATV was launched from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana on Saturday night. It will orbit near the station during the shuttle's visit, ready to move into position in early April.

Space shuttle Endeavour launches with Japanese lab

Space shuttle Endeavour soared into space Tuesday, carrying parts of a Japanese laboratory that is to become the largest and last research component of the International Space Station. With its installation Japan gains a foothold on the ISS alongside the United States, Russia and Europe, whose laboratory Columbus was delivered to the station in February. Endeavour roared into space at 0628 GMT Tuesday, in a rare night launch from the Kennedy Space Center here -- its motors and booster rockets casting a glare bright as midday along the Florida coast for about 30 seconds. In 53 seconds the shuttle had already attained a speed of about 2,425 kilometers (1,507 miles) per hour -- about twice the speed of sound. Two minutes after launch Endeavour successfully jettisoned its twin solid rocket boosters.
