KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- When NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery lifts off on October 29, some of the team that worked on John Glenn's first space flight 36 years ago also will be a part of this mission.

The giant twin reusable solid rocket motors (RSRMs) that lift the Shuttle into orbit are made by Thiokol Propulsion, a division of Cordant Technologies. And while these Thiokol motors will send Glenn and the entire Discovery crew into space in 1998, it was a trio of Thiokol motors that helped return the American hero safely to earth on February 20, 1962.
