Discovery, Cape Canaveral, Florida, 1988
Photograph by Otis Imboden
On the morning of September 29, 1988, space shuttle Discovery stands on its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center. Redesigned after Challenger's fatal 1986 explosion, Discovery's primary objective was to launch a communications satellite. Perhaps more importantly, Discovery also relaunched the U.S. space program after a two-and-a-half-year moratorium on space travel.

1988年，佛罗里达州，卡拉维拉尔角，发现号飞船
摄影者：Otis Imboden
1988年9月29日的一个清晨，在肯尼迪太空发射中，“发现号”太空飞船竖立在发射台上。经历“挑战者号”的致命爆炸后，“发现号”经重新设计，其主要任务是发射一枚通讯卫星。或许更重要的是，太空旅行计划在经过两年半的延迟执行后，“发现号”同时也曾担任过美国太空旅行计划的重新发射任务。
