KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The orbiter Discovery is being prepped inside the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) bay 1 for a "roll around" to OPF bay 3 where ongoing payload and ground processing assessments will be completed. Managers will then determine when to roll the orbiter to the Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking with the external tank and soid rocket boosters, and when to roll out to Launch Pad 39A. Discovery is scheduled to launch Oct. 5 at 9:30 p.m. EDT on mission STS-92, which will be the 100th flight in the Shuttle program.
