Discovery Set To Move To Launch Pad

Launch Scheduled For October 23

NASA reports the Space shuttle Discovery is targeted to roll out to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, FL on Saturday, September 29, as preparations for the STS-120 mission move forward.

Discovery is targeted to lift off October 23 on a 14-day mission to the International Space Station.

The first motion of the shuttle out of Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building is expected at 2000 EDT. The 3.4-mile journey to the launch pad is expected to take about six hours.

The STS-120 mission will add a module to the space station that will serve as a port for installing additional international laboratories.

The Harmony module will be the first expansion of the living and working space on the orbiting laboratory since 2001. The mission also will move the first set of solar arrays installed on the station to a permanent location on the complex and redeploy them.
