Discovery Moves Toward October Liftoff
Next week, the launch of space shuttle Discovery on mission STS-120 moves one step closer as technicians are scheduled to roll the shuttle the short distance from the Orbiter Processing Facility to the giant Vehicle Assembly Building. Once inside, Discovery will be lifted and then joined to the waiting boosters and tank on the mobile launch platform. The main payload for the mission, the Italian-built U.S. Harmony module for the International Space Station, will be loaded inside Discovery at the launch pad.
