The two-day return flight from Edwards Air Force Base in California began at 9:20 a.m. EDT Sept. 20. After three fueling stops that included an overnight stay in Louisiana, the piggybacked shuttle had to navigate through a line of showers across Louisiana and around Kennedy. Discovery had landed at Edwards Sept. 11 after the 13-day STS-128 mission to the International Space Station. Landings at Kennedy were waved off on two days due to inclement weather, leading to the landing at Edwards. Image credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett Sept. 21, 2009 |

The rollback is in preparation for Discovery's liftoff on the STS-119 mission with a crew of seven. The mission is the 28th to the International Space Station and the 125th space shuttle flight. Discovery will deliver the final pair of power-generating solar array wings and the S6 truss segment. Installation of S6 will signal the station's readiness to house a six-member crew for conducting increased science. Image credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett March 11, 209 |

Space shuttle Discovery met its next major milestone for the upcoming STS-131 mission. Just before midnight March 2, the doors of the gigantic Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida opened to reveal space shuttle Discovery secured on its mobile launcher platform. The massive crawler-transporter, positioned under the platform, moved the shuttle stack out of the VAB headed for Launch Pad 39A. It took the powerful transporter about six hours to carefully roll Discovery, its external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters to the pad at a steady pace of about one mile an hour. The 3.4-mile trek to the seaside launch complex was completed when Discovery was secured or "hard down" on the pad at about 7 the next morning. Now poised for liftoff in April, Discovery's seven-member crew is preparing to deliver a multi-purpose logistics module filled with science racks to the International Space Station. |

Astronaut John W. Young has just entered the hard-material torso of the shuttle spacesuit by approaching it from below. He is assisted by astronaut Robert L. Crippen. The torso is held in place by a special stand here, simulating the function provided by the airlock wall aboard the actual shuttle craft. The life support system is mated to the torso on Earth and remains attached to the torso during the flight. |
