Leonardo is packed with the R2 humanoid robot and tons of science gear, spare parts, food and water. The all veteran six person crew has successfully attached the Leonardo storage module and completed two space walks. Landing is slated for March 8 at 11:36 a.m. 24 on Discovery’s 39th and last space flight.

They impact in the Atlantic about seven minutes after liftoff and some 100 nautical miles downrange from the launch pad off the Florida coastline. The SRB’s separate from the orbiter about two minutes after liftoff. The unique ships were specifically designed and constructed to recover the SRB’s. Discovery SRB in tow past a flock of birds at Atlantic Ocean entrance to Port Canaveral. After the spent segments are decontaminated and cleaned, they will be transported to Utah, where they will be refurbished and stored, if needed. Each vessel tows one SRB all the way from the Atlantic Ocean into Port Canaveral and then through the locks to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
