STS-120 is the 23rd shuttle mission to the International Space Station,
and launched an Italian-built U.S. multi-port module for the station.
Retired Air Force Col. Pamela A. Melroy commands the STS-120 mission
which took the Harmony Node 2 connecting module to the station. Melroy,
a veteran shuttle pilot, is the second woman to command a shuttle.
Marine Corps Col. George D. Zamka serves as pilot. The flight's mission
specialists are Scott E. Parazynski, Army Col. Douglas H. Wheelock,
Stephanie D. Wilson and Paolo A. Nespoli, a European Space Agency
astronaut from Italy. Zamka, Wheelock and Nespoli are making their first
spaceflight.
Expedition 15/16 Flight Engineer Clayton Anderson will return to Earth
from the space station aboard shuttle mission STS-120. That flight
carried his replacement, Daniel Tani, to the station. Tani will return
on shuttle mission STS-122.

Space shuttle Discovery descended to a smooth landing at Kennedy Space
Center, Fla., concluding a successful assembly mission to the
International Space Station. With Commander Pam Melroy and Pilot George
Zamka at the controls, Discovery landed at 1:01:17 p.m. EST. The mission
lasted 15 days, 2 hours, 24 minutes and 2 seconds.
During its stay at the station, which began Oct. 25, the STS-120 crew
continued the on-orbit construction of the station with the installation
of the Harmony Node 2 module and the relocation of the P6 truss.
The crew installed Harmony Oct. 26 and did four spacewalks at the
station. During the third spacewalk, the crew installed the P6 truss and
solar array pair in its permanent location outboard of the port truss.
The fourth spacewalk was changed during the mission so that the crew
could repair a torn solar array on the P6 truss. Following the
successful repair work, the crew was able to fully deploy the solar array.
Discovery also delivered a new station crew member, Flight Engineer
Daniel Tani.
STS-120 is the 120th shuttle mission and 23rd mission to visit the space
station. The next mission, STS-122, is slated to launch in December.
