The tie-cutting is a tradition for first-timers. Liftoff was on time at 2:28 a.m. (EDT). The crew will make a record-breaking 16-day mission to the International Space Station and deliver the first section of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory and the Canadian Space Agency's two-armed robotic system, Dextre.
