KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Space Shuttle Discovery Flow Director Stephanie Stilson poses with the orbiter in the background as it is moved from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A. First motion out of the VAB was at 6:47 a.m. EDT. Rollout is a milestone for Discovery's launch to the International Space Station on mission STS-120, targeted for Oct. 23. The crew will be delivering and installing the Italian-built U.S. Node 2, named Harmony. The pressurized module will act as an internal connecting port and passageway to additional international science labs and cargo spacecraft. In addition to increasing the living and working space inside the station, it also will serve as a work platform outside for the station's robotic arm. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton
