Space flight from July 26 to August 9 last year encountered many problems. After departure, the vessel's external fuel tank was hit by an insulating plate. For safety reasons, NASA temporarily suspended the shuttle program.

In the upcoming flight in May, there was the participation of a German space pilot of the European aerospace agency (ESA). This pilot will not return with Discovery ship but will stay working on the ISS international space station. Thus, since May 2003, the ISS station has 3 pilots working together for the first time.
