  Title: STS-30 Atlantis, OV-104, lifts off from KSC LC Pad 39B
  Description:
  STS-30 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, clears the launch tower at
  Kennedy  Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39B as it rides into
  Earth orbit  atop the external tank (ET).  This profile view shows OV-104
  backdropped  against partially cloudy Florida skies.  Exhaust plumes billow
  from the solid  rocket boosters (SRBs).  An exhaust cloud surrounds LC Pad
  39B.  Visible in  the foreground are the emergency egress system
  (slidewire) landing area,  trees, and a waterway reflecting the glow of the
  SRB firing.  Launch occurred  at 2:46:58 pm (Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)).
