Shuttle Discovery atop its 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft are at the next refueling stop in their ferry flight, Ft. Worth Naval Air Station, Texas.
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft landed at 3:16 p.m. EDT after departing from Rick Husband International Airport in Amarillo, Texas at 2:17 p.m. to begin the second leg of its cross-country trip to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The teams now will assess the weather conditions to determine whether they can still get to Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport, Louisiana this afternoon where they plan to stay overnight.
Managers plan to have Discovery back at Kennedy on Monday.
