CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery nears Orbiter Processing Facility-1 (OPF-1). Discovery, which temporarily was being stored in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), is swapping places with Endeavour, which has been undergoing decommissioning in OPF-1. The shuttles stopped briefly outside OPF-3 for a unique "nose-to-nose" photo opportunity. The image was taken from the top of the VAB. In OPF-1, Discovery will undergo further preparations for public display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
