LIFTOFF!

Of Space Shuttle Discovery!!! Wow! I'm sooo excited about this particular mission because I am the lead Attitude Determination and Control Officer for STS 120 / ISS 10A. On this mission, everyday is packed with activities. We'll be installing Node 2 module to Node 1 port, relocating the P6 truss from the zenith Z1 truss to the port P5 truss, deploying the soalr arrays attached to P6, and a whole lotta mated shuttle/ISS maneuvers.

This is a good website for tracking the daily activities of the mission http://www.spaceflightnow.com/
