The space shuttle is launched from Cape Kennedy in this artist’s concept by Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. Firing at the same time as the two solid-propellant boosters are the liquid-fueled engines of the orbiter, right. The two solid boosters will be jettisoned next, and the orbiter will continue into orbit.
