ReplyDeleteCAPE CANAVERAL — Discovery remains on track to leave Kennedy Space Center for good Tuesday morning despite winds delaying the orbiter’s attachment to a carrier aircraft on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteCrews plan to lift Discovery onto the 747 jumbo jet today (Sunday).
"There’s no impact to the scheduled departure on Tuesday," said KSC spokeswoman Tracy Young.
The ferry flight is expected to take off around 7 a.m. Tuesday on a nonstop trip to Dulles International Airport, near the Smithsonian Institution annex where Discovery will be publicly displayed.
