The check out of the space shuttle Discovery for the STS-124 mission has gone extremely well so far. Engineers preparing Discovery for its next flight have found only 40 glitches, well below the current shuttle program low of 76, which was also on Discovery.
The major objective of STS-124 is to install another huge piece of Japan's Kibo lab, thus taking one more step towards completing construction of ISS.
Discovery is scheduled to launch on STS-124 May 31.
