CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In Orbiter Processing Facility-3 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the right-hand orbital maneuvering system, or OMS, pod is being lifted by an overhead crane for installation on space shuttle Discovery. Discovery and its crew will deliver the Permanent Multipurpose Module, or PMM, which will carry supplies and critical spare parts on the STS-133 mission to the International Space Station. The module will be left behind so it can be used for microgravity experiments in fluid physics, materials science, biology and biotechnology. For more information go to www.nasa.gov_shuttle.
