Spacewalking Suits Check Out Today

At NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A, teams will continue preparations for next week's launch attempt. Technicians will check out the spacewalking suits, called extravehicular mobility units. The suits were installed into Discovery yesterday.

Liftoff for space shuttle Discovery's STS-133 mission to the International Space Station is targeted for Feb. 24 at 4:50 p.m. EST.

At NASA's Johnson Space Center, STS-133 Commander Steve Lindsey and Pilot Eric Boe will conduct shuttle training aircraft landing practice runs today at the White Sands Space Harbor, N.M. while their crewmates review systems manuals.
