In the Vehicle Assembly Building, workers prepare the orbiter Discovery for vertical lift before mating it with the external tank. The orbiter displays the recently painted NASA logo, termed the "meatball," on its left wing and both sides of the fuselage. Discovery (OV-103) is scheduled for its 25th flight, from Launch Pad 39B, on Oct. 29, 1998, for the STS-95 mission.
