KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center, STS-120 Pilot George Zamka has his helmet communications tested after donning his launch and entry suit. He and the rest of the crew will be heading to Launch Pad 39A for launch aboard space shuttle Discovery to the International Space Station. Discovery is scheduled for liftoff at 11:38 a.m. EDT. The mission will be the 23rd assembly flight to the space station and the 34th flight for Discovery. Payload on the mission is the Italian-built U.S. Node 2, called Harmony.
