Space shuttle Discovery is towed after participating in a photo opportunity outside OPF-3 with shuttle Endeavour.

At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery is towed toward the work platforms in Orbiter Processing Facility-1 (OPF-1) after participating in a unique "nose-to-nose" photo opportunity outside OPF-3 with shuttle Endeavour. Discovery is switching places with Endeavour which temporarily is being placed in storage in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).

In OPF-1, Discovery will undergo further preparations for public display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. Endeavour will be stored in the VAB until October when it will be moved into OPF-2 for further work to get it ready for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
