The US shuttle Discovery is all set for its latest mission to the International Space Station (ISS).This is the Discovery orbiter's 37th mission The 13-day flight will deliver science equipment to the platform, including a new freezer to store biological samples and a furnace for baking materials. The lab equipment was made in Europe, which is represented in Discovery's crew by Swede Christer Fuglesang. The mission will be the 30th shuttle flight dedicated to station assembly and maintenance http://suprashoesuk1.webs.com/ - supra shoes uk . The current plan is for a further six sorties to be made to the ISS before America's re-useable spaceship fleet is retired at the end of next year or early in 2011.The lift-off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida is timed for 0136 local time (0536 GMT) on Tuesday.

On one of these walks, the Swede will move cabling on the exterior of the station in readiness for the arrival next year of a connecting unit, called Node 3 or Tranquility, and a huge window referred to as the Cupola. The two modules will be Europe's final large-scale contributions to the assembly of the ISS. Discovery's payload bay is taken up with the Italian-built Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM), which acts as a giant packing box on shuttle logistics missions.

One is a Melfi (Minus Eighty Laboratory Freezer for ISS), which can store biological samples.This is the second such freezer, explained Martin Zell http://www.mbtshoes4australia.com/ - mbt shoes clearance , Esa's head of ISS Utilisation.
