STS133-S-145 (9 March 2011) --- Astronaut Michael Barratt, STS-133 mission specialist, admires space shuttle Discovery on the Shuttle Landing Facility's Runway 15 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Barratt and his crewmates returned from a 13-day, 5.3-million-mile mission to the International Space Station at 11:57 a.m. (EST) on March 9, 2011. STS-133 delivered the Permanent Multipurpose Module, packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2, the dexterous humanoid astronaut helper, to the orbiting outpost. STS-133 was Discovery's 39th and final mission. This was the 133rd Space Shuttle Program mission and the 35th shuttle voyage to the space station.
