Catch the Space Shuttle to fly for one last time on April 17

Space Shuttle Discovery will make one last flight later this month. Discovery has completed 39 missions, spent 365 days in space, orbited the Earth 5,830 times and traveled 148,221,675 miles from its maiden flight,
On Tuesday, April 17, NASA's 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) with space shuttle Discovery mounted atop will fly just 1500 feet above various parts of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
Expected to fly between 10 and 11 a.m. EDT near landmarks including the National Mall, Reagan National Airport, National Harbor and the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center, the SCA will land at Dulles International Airport upon completion of the flight.
The exact route and timing of the flight, held in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration, will depend on weather and operational constraints. Live coverage of the event can be seen on NASA Television and the agency's web site.
