  Description:
  STS-46 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, lifts off from Kennedy Space 
  Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39 at 9:56:47:976 am Eastern Daylight 
  Time (EDT).  OV-104, atop the external tank (ET) and flanked by two solid 
  rocket boosters (SRBs), is nearly clear of the fixed service structure
  (FSS)  tower.  OV-104's vertical tail appears to be touching the top of the
  tower.   Florida vegetation and a waterway, reflecting the solid rocket
  booster (SRB)  and space shuttle main engine (SSME) firings, appear in the
  foreground.
