Space shuttle Discovery rolls away from the Orbiter Processing Facility on its 76-wheeled orbiter transporter to make the short trip to the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The transporter is 106.5 feet long. In high bay 3 of the VAB, Discovery will be attached to its external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters in preparation for its upcoming STS-124 mission to the International Space Station. On the mission, the STS-124 crew will transport the Japanese Experiment Module - Pressurized Module and the Japanese Remote Manipulator System to the space station. Launch of Discovery is targeted for May 31. Photo credit: NASA/Troy Cryder
