The U.S. space agency is moving ahead with preparations for Thursday's scheduled launch of the space shuttle Discovery on its mission to the International Space Station.NASA said it was loading liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen into the shuttle on Tuesday. The two chemical elements are used in the shuttle's three fuel cells to produce electricity and water in space and also pressurize the crew's cabin.
This is the 39th and last flight for NASA's oldest surviving shuttle. It first rocketed into space in 1984 and its final launch is planned for late Thursday afternoon. Forecasters say there is an 80 percent chance of good weather for the launch.During the 11-day flight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the six astronauts aboard the orbiter will deliver cargo to the space station as well as a storage module and a humanoid robot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Robonaut 2.

Later, a NASA team discovered cracks in the tank.One NASA official said the fuel tank is now "stronger than ever."Only two shuttle flights remain after Discovery's mission ends. The shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis also are being retired this year.
