The road to
space is brightly lit for NASA’s space
shuttle Discovery as it is hauled
to Launch Pad 39B.
Shuttle
workers hauled Discovery towards Pad 39B Thursday at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida to prepare the orbiter for
NASA’s STS-116
mission to the International
Space Station (ISS). That mission is slated
to launch on Dec. 7 to continue assembly of the orbital laboratory.
Discovery’s

settled on its Pad 39B stand at about 9:03 a.m. EST (1403 GMT) [image].
