STS-57 Launch
The first flight of the commercially developed SPACEHAB laboratory module begins with the flawless liftoff of the Space Shuttle Endeavour from Launch Pad 39B at 9:07:22 a.m. EDT, June 21, 1993. Also planned for the eight-day flight of Mission STS-57 is the retrieval of the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA). Onboard for the fourth flight of Endeavour are a crew of six: Mission Commander Ronald J. Grabe; Pilot Brian Duffy; Payload Commander G. David Low; and Mission Specialists Nancy Jane Sherlock, Peter J.K. " Jeff" Wisoff, and Janice E. Voss. The first launch attempt on June 20 was scrubbed due to unacceptable weather conditions both at KSC and the overseas contingency landing sites

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the STS-57 launch, marking the first flight of the commercially developed SPACEHAB laboratory module. The Space Shuttle Endeavour gracefully ascends from Launch Pad 39B at precisely 9:07:22 a. m. EDT on June 21,1993. Bathed in sunlight, its powerful engines propel it towards the vast unknown of space. Mission STS-57 holds great significance as it not only aims to deploy and utilize the innovative SPACEHAB laboratory module but also plans to retrieve the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA). This eight-day mission is filled with scientific exploration and groundbreaking advancements. Onboard this remarkable journey are six brave individuals who form an exceptional crew. Mission Commander Ronald J. Grabe leads with unwavering determination, while Pilot Brian Duffy ensures a smooth voyage through space's infinite expanse. Payload Commander G. David Low oversees critical operations within SPACEHAB alongside Mission Specialists Nancy Jane Sherlock, Peter J. K. , "Jeff". Wisoff, and Janice E. Voss. The photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire for discovery beyond Earth's boundaries. It reminds us of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our ability to overcome challenges even before liftoff—highlighted by the previous day's scrubbed launch attempt due to unfavorable weather conditions both at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and contingency landing sites abroad.
