CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Space shuttle Discovery and vehicles in the landing convoy enter the towway at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The slow trip from the Shuttle Landing Facility to Orbiter Processing Facility-2 is under way. Discovery touched down on Runway 15 at 11:57 a.m., bringing an end to its 39th and final spaceflight mission, STS-133. Discovery and its six-member STS-133 crew delivered the Permanent Multipurpose Module, packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2, the dexterous humanoid astronaut helper, to the International Space Station. Inside the processing facility, Discovery will be prepared for future public display. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller
