Live footage of a preflight interview with Mission Specialist Daniel T. Barry is seen. The interview addresses many different questions including why Barry became an astronaut, and the events that led to his interest. 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). Barry mentions Discovery's anticipated docking with the ISS, his scheduled space walk with Tamara E. Jernigan, plans for the supply and equipment transfers, and his responsibility during this transfer. A fly-around maneuver to take pictures of the ISS, and the deployment of the Student Tracked Atmospheric Research Satellite for Heuristic International Networking Equipment (STARSHINE) are also discussed.
