Discovery carrying humanoid robot in its last flight

Space shuttle Discovery set out on its final mission, with a team of six astronauts and a robot. Spectators in chunk attended the final getaway of the shuttle at Cape Canaveral, Fla. Discovery shuttle has made the highest number of rounds in the space, till date, and has landed some of the best terrestrial memories to humans, to cherish. The 11 day mission is the crew members' final rendezvous with the International Space Station (ISS).

Discovery, a memorable journey for many

Steve Lindsay, the commander of the Discovery mission, vividly described how he got "always struck" by the "powerful and beautiful" space. "It is just overwhelming, that is the way it feels to me.", he added with joy. For Eileen Collins, who took the pilot's seat, aboard Discovery, and became the first woman ever to fly a shuttle, the journey is most memorable. Again with Discovery, Dr. Bernard Harris, set the record of the first African-American in space. As the 30 year old Discovery reaches its final stage, flight leader Richard Jones, at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, said he was proud to be the member of Discovery family and a part of its final journey to space. "What I will look back on is that that mission was just one of many, many accomplishments, and it was part of the shuttle era," Jones said.

First humanoid robot in the space

This time when the Discovery arrives at International Space Station, it will deliver some additional, yet important, spares and storages to aid few advanced experiments. Discovery will launch the first humanoid robot in the extraterrestrials. The robot is mechanized to walk inside the International Space Station. Alongside two spacewalks are planned for maintenance and up-gradation. Discovery will set a landmark during its last journey, to become a pacesetter for the $2 million Robonaut, commonly known as R2. The whole project will illustrate how skillfully robot performs and conducts itself in space. R2's work will be projected through AstroRobonaut. The Discovery spacecraft will weigh together a historic 1 million points, the time it lands the ISS.
