Space shuttle Discovery's final launch will be a landmark event for Embry-Riddle – the first time that two of its alumni will serve together in space. U.S. Air Force Col. B. Alvin Drew Jr. and Nicole P. Stott are assigned as mission specialists on the STS-133 flight to the International Space Station (ISS), the second space flight for both of them. Discovery's launch is currently scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
On this next-to-last mission of the space shuttle program, the six-member Discovery crew will deliver to the ISS a prototype human-like robot for long-term testing, a pressurized logistics module, critical spare components, and other equipment and supplies. During the 11-day mission, Drew and a crewmate will perform two spacewalks to update and repair the ISS while Stott coordinates their activities from inside. In addition, Drew and Stott will operate Discovery's robotic arm to perform tasks on the exterior of the space station. Read More.
