KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Inside the Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, STS-121 Mission Specialists Stephanie Wilson (left) and Lisa Nowak learn from technicians the work that has been done on Discovery, the launch vehicle for the mission. They and other crew members -- Commander Steven Lindsey, Pilot Mark Kelly and Mission Specialists Michael Fossum and Piers Sellers -- are at Kennedy for a crew equipment interface test, which provides hands-on experience with equipment they will use on orbit. Launch of STS-121, the second return-to-flight mission, is scheduled for no earlier than May. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
