NASA Celebrates Return to Flight Shuttle Mission

After grounding the Space Shuttle fleet for two years since the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia, NASA is preparing Space Shuttle Discovery for a launch window of May 15 to June 1. The Return to Flight Mission crew of seven astronauts will fly to the International Space Station to test new shuttle safety procedures and to bring sorely needed equipment and supplies to the space station. The Return to Flight website contains numerous multimedia features, including an introductory video and various videos that follow the preparation phases of the mission.
