Live footage of a preflight interview with Mission Specialist Ellen Ochoa is seen. The interview addresses many different questions including why Ochoa became an astronaut, the events that led to her interest, and her career path through research and engineering. Other interesting information that this one-on-one interview discusses is the logistics and supply mission, why it is important to send equipment to the International Space Station (ISS), and the Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC). Ochoa mentions Discovery's anticipated docking with the ISS, her role during the scheduled space walk with Tamara E. Jernigan and Daniel T. Barry, and plans for the supply and equipment transfers. Ochoa also discusses her involvement in a Volatile Removal Assembly (VRA) experiment to remove contaminants from the water, the undocking of the spacecraft from the ISS, and a fly-around maneuver to take pictures of the ISS.
