Discovery, the third orbiter to become operational at Kennedy Space Center, was named after one of two ships that were used by the British explorer James Cook in the 1770s during voyages in the South Pacific that led to the discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. Another of his ships was the Endeavour, the namesake of NASA's newest orbiter.

In the day-to-day world of Shuttle operations and processing, space shuttle orbiters go by a more prosaic designation. Discovery is commonly referred to as OV-103, for orbiter vehicle-103. Empty weight was 151,419lbs at rollout and 171,000lbs with main engines installed.
