Hi, I'm Jim Kennedy, director of NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:15.000
This is such an exciting time, as we prepare to launch Space Shuttle Discovery on the STS-121 mission to the International Space Station.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:21.000
This flight will keep Discovery's seven crew members busy for 12 action-packed days.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:26.000
The STS-121 mission is the second in the return-to-flight sequence,

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:33.000
and will continue the testing of flight safety procedures like shuttle inspection and repair techniques.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Discovery will carry the Italian-built logistics module Leonardo,

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.000
filled with supplies and a new oxygen generation system for the space station.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000
