CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the members of the STS-133 crew take time out from the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) training to pose for a group portrait in the pad's White Room. From left are Mission Specialists Alvin Drew, Nicole Stott; Pilot Eric Boe; Mission Specialists Tim Kopra, Michael Barratt and Commander Steve Lindsey. TCDT provides each shuttle crew and launch team an opportunity to participate in various simulated activities, including equipment familiarization and a launch countdown. Space shuttle Discovery and its STS-133 crew will deliver the Permanent Multipurpose Module, packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2, the dexterous humanoid astronaut helper, to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for Nov. 1 at 4:40 p.m. For more information on the STS-133 mission, visit www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts133/. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
