About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the Orbiter Processing Facility, engine technicians position the "stinger" into Columbia's engine no. 2 to remove it. After small cracks were discovered on the LH2 Main Propulsion System (MPS) flow liners in two other orbiters, program managers decided to move forward with inspections on Columbia before clearing it for flight on STS-107. The heat shields were removed, and after removing the three main engines, inspections of the flow liners will follow.
