Caa Voyage

The final mission of Space Shuttle Discovery, code named STS-133 is scheduled to launch from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39A at 4:50 p.m. EST on 24 February 2011. The aim of the mission is to leave the International Space Station in the best possible shape when space shuttles are no longer flying, as well as to deliver the Express Logistics Carrier-4 (ELC-4), which provides electrical power distribution to experiments. Discovery’s payload also includes a Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM), supplies and vital spare parts for the International Space Station. The STS-133 mission also plans to include two space walks for maintenance work and to install new components.

Robonaut 2

One of the most interesting items of space technology carried on the STS-133 mission is Robonaut 2, known as ‘R2’, that will be the first human-like robot in space when it flies on Discovery inside the PMM to become a permanent resident of the station. Robonaut 2 aims to help engineers understand how dexterous robots behave in space. It is planned that this information could eventually enable the development of a human like robot which can work outside the space station, helping human space walkers with maintenance repairs and scientific work. R2 will be test operated inside the International Space Station’s Destiny laboratory.

Space Shuttle Discovery – first flight

Discovery (named after the famous sailing ship used by British explorer Captain James Cook on voyages to the South Pacific in the 1770s) flew its maiden voyage, the STS-41-D mission on the 30th August 1984. It actually took four attempts to launch, following delays to replace a main engine and an incident when a small private aircraft flew into launch zone restricted air space.
