The space shuttle Discovery docked with the International Space Station at 5:20 p.m. EDT Tuesday, delivering the final truss segment and pair of U.S. solar arrays and a new crew member to take up residence aboard the growing orbital scientific complex. The shuttle and station crews opened hatches and greeted one another at 6:09 p.m., beginning more than a week of joint operations between the two crews. One of the first major tasks of the crews was to swap station crew. (source: nasa.gov)
