KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - An X-band Doppler radar array is lowered toward the deck of the Liberty Star, one of the two SRB Retrieval Ships, at Hangar AF at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The other retrieval ship, Freedom Star, is aft of the Liberty Star. The radar will be used for tracking support on NASA’s Return to Flight mission, STS-114, on Space Shuttle Discovery. Launch is targeted for May 15 with a launch window that extends to June 3. During its 12-day mission, Discovery’s seven-member crew will test new hardware and techniques to improve Shuttle safety, as well as deliver supplies to the International Space Station.
