At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery rolls out of Orbiter Processing Facility-2, or OPF-2, to begin the move to the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB.

Discovery will be stored inside the VAB for approximately one month while shuttle Atlantis undergoes processing in OPF-2 following its final mission, STS-135. Discovery flew its 39th and final mission, STS-133, in February and March 2011, and currently is being prepared for public display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. For more information about Discovery's Transition and Retirement, visit
