KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Inside NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building, Space Shuttle Discovery stretches high above the floor as it waits for rollout to Launch Pad 39B. The shuttle sits on a mobile launcher platform atop the crawler-transporter. The rollout is an important step before launch of Discovery on mission STS-121 to the International Space Station. Discovery's launch is targeted for July 1 in a launch window that extends to July 19. During the 12-day mission, Discovery's crew will test new hardware and techniques to improve shuttle safety, as well as deliver supplies and make repairs to the station.
