Space Center Monday in the last scheduled night shuttle launch.</P>
<P> Originally set for Sunday morning, the launch had to be

its external fuel tank, with a combined weight of 4.5 million
pounds, finally lifted off at 4:14 a.m. EST Monday without incident

and without any pre-launch technical problems.</P>
<P> The shuttle's mission to the International Space Station is
being led by Commander George Zamka, with Terry Virts serving as
pilot. They and astronauts Nicholas Patrick, Robert Behnken, Stephen
Robinson and Kathryn Hire will deliver the Italian-built Tranquility
node -- the last of the three nodes that make up the space station
