I'm Spencer Woodward and this is the Space Shuttle Minute,
your sixty-second NASA space shuttle update.
Space shuttle Endeavour returned to Kennedy Space Center with a nighttime landing on March 26,
wrapping up the 16-day STS-123 mission to the International Space Station.
Preparations are under way for space shuttle Discovery's STS-124 mission. Inside the
Vehicle Assembly Building, the twin white solid rocket boosters are
being stacked atop the mobile launcher platform.
The external tank arrived at Kennedy and is undergoing final checkouts
before mating with the solid rocket boosters.
Meanwhile, inside the Orbiter Processing Facility, Discovery's payload bay doors are closed.
Workers are prepping the orbiter for its upcoming move to the assembly building,
where it will be mated with its tank and boosters.
I'm Spencer Woodward, and that's your Space Shuttle Minute.
