CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, STS-133 crew members pose in front of the space shuttle wall tribute in the Vehicle Assembly Building. Kennedy employees who have supported the Space Shuttle Program throughout the last 30 years have been signing the wall as a tribute to the program. From left are Commander Steve Lindsey, Pilot Eric Boe, and Mission Specialists Tim Kopra, Nicole Stott, Alvin Drew, and Michael Barratt. 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
