Space Shuttle Discovery began mission STS-119 with a spectacular launch this evening from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The primary mission objective is to deliver the final (of four) large solar array segment to power the International Space Station (ISS). There will also be a swap of a couple of ISS crew members.
