KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Inside the Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, members of the STS-121 crew get a close look at the wing leading edge of Discovery, the launch vehicle for the mission. Seen here are Mission Specialist Michael Fossum, Pilot Mark Kelly and Mission Specialist Stephanie Nowak. They and other crew members -- Commander Steven Lindsey and Mission Specialists Lisa Nowak and Piers Sellers -- are at Kennedy for a crew equipment interface test, which provides hands-on experience with equipment they will use on orbit. Launch of STS-121, the second return-to-flight mission, is scheduled for no earlier than May. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
