About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the tail cone on space shuttle Discovery and the tail of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft are aligned in the mate-demate device as mating operations get under way. The tail cone has been installed over Discovery’s three replica shuttle main engines to reduce aerodynamic drag and turbulence during the ferry flight.
