CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The lightning mast atop the fixed service structure at Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida stands ready to protect space shuttle Discovery. Discovery's first motion on its 3.4-mile trip from the Vehicle Assembly Building was at 11 58 p.m. EST March 2. The shuttle was secured on the pad at 6 48 a.m. March 3. Rollout is a significant milestone in launch processing activities. The seven-member STS-131 crew will deliver the multi-purpose logistics module Leonardo, filled with resupply stowage platforms and racks, to the International Space Station aboard Discovery. Targeted for launch on April 5, STS-131 will be the 33rd shuttle mission to the station and the 131st shuttle mission overall.
