In the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery is suspended vertically above the transfer aisle. The shuttle will be lifted into high bay 3 where it will be mated with its external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters on the mobile launcher platform. After additional preparations are made, the shuttle will be rolled out to Launch Pad 39A for a targeted launch on Feb. 12. Discovery will carry the final starboard truss (S6) in the assembly of the International Space Station. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller
