Discovery Heads Toward ISS
Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-114) continued its trajectory towards a rendevous with the International Space Station after its successful launch on Tuesday. Discovery had completed 17 orbits as of 1600 UTC Wednesday, and should dock with the ISS approximately 1118 UTC on Thursday morning.
Discovery's crew is using the newly modified robotic arm to examine the spacecraft for possible damage a day after its ascent into orbit. A new array of cameras trained on Discovery during Tuesday's launch showed a small piece of debris falling from the underside of Discovery.
