A successful launch apparently:

It was a noisy one as well. They launched at 9 degrees south of due
east which I presume made it louder than normal in Cocoa Beach. I
guess this is all we'll ever have for night launched anymore is
unmanned, so they are must-see.

The CAIB was careful not to specify day launches in its ascent imaging
recommendation, and NASA will likely resume night shuttle launches as soon
as it gains confidence in its ability to get acceptable images at night
(probably within 2 years after return-to-flight). The launch window cutouts
associated with a day launch restriction are pretty onerous.
