Shuttle Discovery’s ferry flight team thinks the weather is good enough to support a safe landing at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida shortly.
The NASA C-9 “pathfinder” support aircraft will touch down at Kennedy’s Shuttle Landing Facility on runway 15 a little before the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft with shuttle Discovery attached to it.
Because of the dynamic weather, the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is expected to land directly at Kennedy rather than perform a flyover of the surrounding area known as the Space Coast.
