Space shuttle Discovery arrived early Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2010 at Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to be readied for its final mission to space. STS-133 is scheduled to lift off on Nov. 1 with a crew of six, delivering a new storage module for the International Space Station (ISS). The flight will mark Discovery's 39th launch and the second-to-last for NASA's nearly 30-year space shuttle program.
Hours after Discovery was secured atop Pad 39A, collectSPACE joined a small group of media for a rare opportunity to photograph the spacecraft from above and below during a tour of the launch complex.
