Title: STS- 119 USS Discovery Shuttle Mission
Post by: fuzzytomcat on March 13, 2009, 04:35:21 PM
Hi All,

Well The USS Discovery is on the launch pad ready for it's mission 200 miles above the "Earth" traveling 15,000 miles per hour to install the last set of four solar array panels on the end of starboard truss "S6". This will complete the solar array system and hopefully the repairs made from the last shuttle launch will be sufficient for normal rotational sarge operation toward the completion of the International Space Station. God's Speed !!

As always Yahoo broadcasts the event "LIVE"  24/7  during the mission for 15 days or until the mission is completed.

Hey cat,

I'm glad you liked the link ...... it's not "DirecTV" satellite with HD programming but it gives everyone a fairly good idea whats going on in real time.

With due consideration to the economic crisis, I wonder if they will be using the old moon landing set to film this event. :)

Regards...
