Description
Wide shot of the Shuttle Challenger on the pad. Top shot looking down on it. Flame trench engine ignition view. Top shot again through ignition to lift off. Telephoto tracking shots as the Shuttle climbs into the sky. Wide airborne shot of the Shuttle rising into the Florida sky. More telephoto tracking shots through to the solid rocket booster jettison. The camera stays with the shuttle as the SRBs separate and fall away - still flaming.

Historic Context of Clip
Background to Space Shuttle Mission STS-41C:
STS-41-C was the 11th space shuttle mission and the fifth for Challenger. The launch was the first direct ascent trajectory for a Shuttle mission. The mission was extended one day due to problems capturing the Solar Max satellite, and the landing was at Edwards Air Force Base instead of Kennedy Space Center as planned.
