Go For Launch! Is a stunning, one-of-a-kind, four-minute chronicle of Discovery’s trip from the Orbiter Processing Facility to the pad, beginning with the “rollover” to the Vehicle Assembly Building on February 22 and ending with the STS-131 launch on April 5.
The Smithsonian’s impressive Air & Space magazine has put this unique time-lapse video out via the publication’s website.
Photographers Scott Andrews, Stan Jirman and Philip Scott Andrews condense six weeks of painstaking work into three minutes, 52 seconds
The film ends with a glimpse of Discovery and the STS-131 astronauts coming in for a landing 15 days later, back in Florida where it all started.
