KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - These bald eagles scan the landscape of Kennedy Space Center from the top of a utility pole on S.R. 3. There are a dozen active nests of bald eagles throughout the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which shares a boundary with the Center. Eagles' habitats are near lakes, rivers, marshes and seacoasts. Nests are masses of sticks, usually in the top of a tall tree. Even though they are fish eaters, bald eagles will take whatever prey is available and easiest to obtain. Bald eagles that live along the coast and on major lakes and rivers feed mainly on fish.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The orbiter Discovery, sitting on an orbiter transporter, begins making the short trip to NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) , seen behind it. The rollover marks the start of the journey to the launch pad and, ultimately, launch. Once inside the VAB, Discovery will be raised to vertical and lifted up and over into high bay 3 for stacking with its redesigned external tank and twin solid rocket boosters. The rollout of Space Shuttle Discovery to Launch Pad 39B is expected in approximately a week. Launch of Discovery on mission STS-121 is scheduled to take place in a window extending July 1 to July 19. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-06pd0824

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- From high bay 3 of NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building, Space Shuttle Discovery begins its slow 4.2-mile journey via the crawlerway to Launch Pad 39B. The shuttle rests on a mobile launcher platform that sits atop a crawler-transporter. First motion was at 12:45 p.m. EDT. The rollout is an important step before launch of Discovery on mission STS-121 to the International Space Station. Discovery's launch is targeted for July 1 in a launch window that extends to July 19. During the 12-day mission, Discovery's crew will test new hardware and techniques to improve shuttle safety, as well as deliver supplies and make repairs to the station.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Inside NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building, the crawler transporter supporting Space Shuttle Discovery on its mobile launcher platform is ready to roll out to Launch Pad 39B with its cargo. The open area above the crawler is the opening for the exhaust of one of the solid rocket boosters (two other openings are provided for main engines and second booster). The rollout is an important step before launch of Discovery on mission STS-121 to the International Space Station. Discovery's launch is targeted for July 1 in a launch window that extends to July 19.
