Rocket flares from the shuttle were visible in the night sky across much of the south-eastern United States. The shuttle is heading to the International Space Station (ISS), which NASA is racing to complete before the shuttle fleet is retired in 2010. This is the third shuttle mission in six months and first night launch since the Columbia disaster in 2003. While in orbit with the space station, Discovery astronauts will carry out three space walks and will rewire electrical systems inside the ISS.
