Description:
The orbiter Discovery is nearly vertical as overhead cranes lift it in the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building. It will then be moved into high bay 1 for mating with its solid rocket boosters and external tank. Discovery will be launched March 8 on mission STS-102, the eighth construction flight to the International Space Station. The Shuttle will carry the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, the first of three pressurized modules provided by the Italian Space Agency to carry supplies and equipment to the Space Station and back to earth
