There are no significant problems in the third day of the last mission. In his last mission, Discovery brings extra room to install a warehouse in the International Space Station or the International Space Station (ISS). Similarly, as reported by CNN on Sunday (02/27/2011).
"Sad also imagine this is the last flight. Discovery is a great vehicle," astronaut Steve Swanson said.
Discovery began service last Thursday (24 / 2) and from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Over the past 11 days, Discovery will be in space. The flight was the 39th mission for the aircraft in operation since 1984. During his career, Discovery has been around the earth over 5628 times and spent 352 days in orbit.
Discovery also brought 246 astronauts into space. Largest amount ever taken of any space shuttle.
In Saturday's mission, Discovery docked to the ISS for the 13th time. The aircraft was registered as the first plane to move closer to the space station. At that time, on June 4, 1998, Discovery docked to the Mir space station, owned by Russia. On May 29, 1999, this plane was recorded as the first space shuttle docked to the ISS.
