CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In the Canister Rotation Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the payload canister containing the multi-purpose logistics module Leonardo, rotated into a vertical position, is lowered onto its transporter. Leonardo will be transported to Launch Pad 39A and installed into space shuttle Discovery for its upcoming flight. The seven-member STS-131 crew will deliver Leonardo, filled with resupply stowage platforms and racks, to the International Space Station. STS-131 will be the 33rd shuttle mission to the station and the 131st shuttle mission overall. Launch is targeted for April 5.
