Space shuttle Discovery, with the STS-119 astronauts aboard, awaits liftoff.
Shuttle Weather Officer Kathy Winters has upgraded the launch forecast to 100 percent "go" for the 7:43 p.m. EDT liftoff of space shuttle Discovery.
The Discovery crew members are set to fly the S6 truss segment and install the final set of power-generating solar arrays to the International Space Station. The S6 truss will complete the backbone of the station and provide one-fourth of the total power needed to support a crew of six.
The whole event was covered by NASA TV. They give good insight in the whole mission as well as stunning pictures. Check it out next time, if you missed it.
