The STS-116 crew members visited NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida this week for the crew equipment interface test. The test is a routine part of astronaut training and launch preparations, and allows astronauts to get hands-on with the equipment and flight hardware that will be used during the mission.

During the STS-116 mission, Discovery will deliver the P5 integrated truss structure to the International Space Station, and carry the SPACEHAB module and other key components. Launch is scheduled for no earlier than Dec. 7.

Seems preperations are well under way now for STS-116
