Discovery ship flew into space today

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) has announced that it will launch the Space Shuttle Discovery onto the International Space Station (ISS) today, April 5. This is one of the last four missions to provide space for the construction of the ISS Station.

On a space flight in the next two weeks, space shuttle Discovery will bring seven astronauts, including a Japanese astronaut and provide 1.8 tons of goods and food, scientific equipment and tools for ISS station. It is expected that the shuttle will take off at 10:21 GMT on April 5 from Kennedy Space Center, near Cape Canaveral, Florida (USA).

Earlier, the maintenance team discovered a helium air-conditioning valve behind the Space Shuttle Discovery. This makes many people worry that Discovery will not be able to take off as expected. However, this major problem has been dealt with by experts.

The remaining three flights are expected to provide the ISS station with research facilities and separate components to maintain the station's operation after the shuttle's final mission is expected to end by the end of September. now on. However, NASA supervisors are concerned that this deadline may have to be pushed back to 2011 to ensure technical safety for space shuttle flights.

On February 8, the shuttle Endeavor was launched from the space center in Florida, with the task of installing two new Tranquility Node 3 modules and Cupola for the ISS. However, due to some technical problems, the shuttle returned to the motherland 1 day later than originally planned.
