Suited for Flight
In the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Mission Specialist Nicole Stott is helped with her helmet as the STS-128 crew members put on their launch-and-entry suits before heading to the Astrovan for the 3.4-mile drive to Launch Pad 39A.
Discovery's 13-day mission will deliver more than seven tons of supplies, science racks and equipment, as well as additional environmental hardware to sustain six crew members on the International Space Station. The mission is the 128th in the Space Shuttle Program, the 37th flight of Discovery and the 30th station assembly flight.
