KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Lights inside the Vehicle Assembly Building cast an orange glow on Space Shuttle Discovery as waits on top of the Mobile Launcher Platform for rollout to Launch Pad 39B. Rollout is expected to begin about 12:01 a.m. June 15 for the 4-mile, 6-hour trip to the pad. On either side of Discovery’s tail and orbital maneuvering system pods are the Tail Masts that support the fluid, gas and electrical requirements of the orbiter’s liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen aft T-0 umbilicals. Space Shuttle Discovery's Return to Flight mission STS-114 is scheduled for liftoff in a window extending from July 13 to July 31.
