Preparations Ongoing for STS-133 Discovery

Less than a week before launch, technicians at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida continue careful preparations on space shuttle Discovery for the STS-133 mission. Workers are close to wrapping up the installation and connection of ordnance on the shuttle stack and will begin closing out the solid rocket booster forward skirt tonight.


The STS-133 crew, commanded by veteran astronaut Steve Lindsey, will conduct its final ascent simulation at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston today and review procedures with digital cameras.‪
