HOUSTON, March 16 (UPI) -- Space shuttle Discovery was heading toward the International Space Station Monday following a perfect Sunday launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the shuttle was scheduled to dock at the space station at 5:13 p.m. EDT Tuesday.
NASA controllers at mission control in Houston said their first look at ascent imagery showed no space debris items of concern. NASA said the imagery review process would continue and be assessed by mission management scientists.
The astronauts awoke at 10:13 a.m. EDT Monday, beginning their first full day in space, officially known as Flight Day 2.
