CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Space shuttle Discovery stands tall on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida as space center workers prepare to move the rotating service structure into place. The structure protects the shuttle from the elements and allows access into the spacecraft while on the pad. Targeted to liftoff Nov. 1, Discovery will take the Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2 (R2) to the International Space Station on the STS-133 mission.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery is visible on Launch Pad 39A before the rotating service structure, which protects it from the elements and provides access to the shuttle, is moved into place. It took the spacecraft about six hours to make the journey, known as "rollout," from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the pad. Rollout sets the stage for Discovery's STS-133 crew to practice countdown and launch procedures during the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test in mid-October. Targeted to liftoff Nov. 1, Discovery will take the Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2 (R2) to the International Space Station.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the crawler-transporter that carried space shuttle Discovery from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A, moves toward the pad perimeter gate, giving the illusion that the shuttle is still on top, but smaller than it actually is. The move, called "rollout," sets the stage for Discovery's STS-133 crew to practice countdown and launch procedures during the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test in mid-October.
