In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, members of the media are able to a closeup look and photograph the S6 truss segment, with its set of large U.S. solar arrays, that will be attached to the starboard, or right, side of the station during space shuttle Discovery's STS-119 mission. The S6 truss will complete the backbone of the station. The two solar wings will provide one-fourth of the total power needed to support a crew of six astronauts. The segment is expected to be loaded into the payload transportation canister Jan. 7, in preparation for its targeted journey to the launch pad Jan. 11. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
