Space shuttle Discovery's STS-124 mission is a go for launch on May 31
Discovery's 14-day flight will carry the largest payload so far to the station and includes three spacewalks.
The crew will install Kibo's large Japanese Pressurised module as well as the Kibo’s robotic arm system. Discovery also will deliver new station crew member Greg Chamitoff and bring back Flight Engineer Garrett Reisman, who will end a three-month stay aboard the outpost. STS-124 is the 26th shuttle mission to the International Space Station.
I will have some times and dates and perhaps a few photos of STS -124 and the space station over Australia, times and dates will be posted just after launch.
