The crew of STS-133 wrapped up a successful countdown dress rehearsal today at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to conclude a week of on-site training for the upcoming mission. The practice session gave the astronauts and the control teams a chance to practice all the launch day steps before they have to do it for real in a few weeks. Liftoff is targeted for Nov. 1 at 4:40 p.m. EDT. After flying back to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, the astronauts will continue training for Discovery's mission to the International Space Station. They will return to Kennedy a few days before Discovery is to lift off on its final mission.
