KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- Space Shuttle Discovery can still be seen clearly as it sits on Launch Pad 39B despite the fog that is rolling in, blurring the background. Discovery will be flying on mission STS-102 to the International Space Station. Its payload is the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, a “moving van,” to carry laboratory racks filled with equipment, experiments and supplies to and from the Space Station aboard the Space Shuttle. The flight will also carry the Expedition Two crew up to the Space Station, replacing Expedition One, who will return to Earth on Discovery. Lau
