Space shuttle Endeavour blasted off on Wednesday on its sixth attempt to launch since June, headed to the International Space Station to expand Japan's Kibo module.
The seven-member crew is to deliver an outside porch on the module at the station to expose scientific experiments to the extremities of space.
The mission has suffered a slew of delays that kept the craft on the ground for weeks longer than planned.
A planned Sunday launch was cancelled due to storms and a Saturday launch was also scrubbed due to lightning the night before that struck the launch pad, but spared the shuttle itself.
On Monday, stormy weather again grounded the spacecraft.
