KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- The morning sun bursts through an opening between the external tank and solid booster rocket on Space Shuttle Discovery aboard the crawler-transporter as it wends its way to Launch Pad 39B. The crawler-transporter carries its cargo at 1 mph, taking about five hours to cover the journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad. Liftoff of Discovery on mission STS-96 is targeted for May 20 at 9:32 a.m. EDT.
