Title : Space Shuttle Discovery

Caption :

(02/12/2001) -- Space Shuttle Discovery, on its Mobile Launcher Platform, inches up the ramp to Launch Pad 39B. Fog has rolled in over the pad, blurring the lines of the Fixed Service Structure (background right). Discovery will be flying on mission STS-102 to the International Space Station. Its payload is the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, a “moving van,” to carry laboratory racks filled with equipment, experiments and supplies to and from the Space Station aboard the Space Shuttle. The flight will also carry the Expedition Two crew up to the Space Station, replacing Expedition One, who will return to Earth on Discovery. Launch is scheduled for March 8 at 6:45 a.m. EST
