ISS Prepared To Receive Shuttle Discovery

The crewmembers of the International Space Station have spent the last several days preparing to rendezvous with the Shuttle Discovery.

The Discovery will approach and dock with the ISS as part of its mission to resupply the station and conduct return-to-flight activities. Station crew members will conduct visual and photographic surveys of the ship upon its approach with the goal of assuring flight safety, and to assist in this objective, the Shuttle will be maneuvered by its command crew to give the station a full view of its heat resistant tiles.
