Center (KSC) Director Roy Bridges shortly after Glenn's arrival at
KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility on Jan. 20 to tour KSC operational
areas and to view the launch of STS-89 later this week. Glenn, who
made history in 1962 as the first American to orbit the Earth,
completing three orbits in a five-hour flight aboard Friendship 7,
will fly his second space mission aboard Space Shuttle Discovery this
October. Glenn is retiring from the Senate at the end of this year and
will be a payload specialist aboard STS-95.

In the pre-dawn hours, STS-95 Space Shuttle Discovery, on the Mobile
Launch Platform, is poised for rollout from the Vehicle Assembly
Building to Launch Complex Pad 39B via the crawler transporter. The
4.2-mile trip takes approximately 6 hours. Once at the launch pad, the
orbiter, external tank and solid rocket boosters will undergo final
preparations for the launch, scheduled to lift off Oct. 29. The
mission includes research payloads such as the Spartan solar-observing
