NASA Glenn Invites Public to Watch Next Shuttle Launch
Cleveland -- The public is invited to watch live coverage of the launch of space shuttle Discovery's STS-120 mission on the large screen at NASA's Glenn Research Center. The first launch opportunity is Tuesday, Oct. 23, with liftoff targeted for 11:38 a.m.
During its mission, Discovery will continue building the International Space Station by delivering a new connecting module named Harmony. The 14-day mission will include five spacewalks, the most ever while a shuttle is docked to the station. This will constitute the first expansion of station's living and working space in more than six years.
If the launch is delayed, visitors should check the Visitor Center hours of operation on the Glenn Web site at:
