Space Shuttle Discovery is hopefully going to launch later this week. Mission STS-119 is delivering the final set of solar arrays to the ISS (International Space Station). It is scheduled to launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This mission is carrying 7 astronauts. From the right (front row) are NASA astronauts Lee Archambault, commander, and Tony Antonelli, pilot. From the left (back row) are NASA astronauts Joseph Acaba, John Phillips, Steve Swanson, Richard Arnold and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi Wakata, all mission specialists. The mission will last 14 days. I wish the best of luck to all the astronauts and wish them a safe trip to and from space. Image Credit: NASA
