About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Before sunrise at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, lights on the mate-demate device reveal space shuttle Discovery suspended above the ground. Operations are under way to place Discovery on top of a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft in preparation for its departure from Kennedy on Tuesday. A tail cone has been installed over Discovery’s three replica shuttle main engines to reduce aerodynamic drag and turbulence during the ferry flight.
