Mystery in Queens

Can you help solve a puzzle?


What is this spaceship?

I'm pretty sure this is the same model, in a different museum, before it settled at AMMI.

...Also, I seem to recall that the Discovery had settled down at the L1 point between Io and Jupiter, which I don't think actually makes any sense at all, since that's not stable. The L4 or L5 points would make more sense, but then Discovery would be nowhere near Io itself, depriving us of the nice Io scenery.
