50.JPG

Wide-angle view of launch to a 28.5 deg inclination. Because the Hubble Space Telescope resides in a much lower inclination than the International Space Station (ISS, 51.6 deg), launches to the telescope appear to fly directly off the Pad and out over the Atlantic ocean. Launches to the ISS roll to the north and appear to follow the eastern coastline.
