About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the Orbiter Processing Facility, the first Reinforced Carbon-Carbon panel is ready for installation on the left wing leading edge on Discovery. The RCC panels are mechanically attached to the wing with spars, a series of floating joints to reduce loading on the panels caused by wing deflections. Discovery has been named as the orbiter to fly on the first Return to Flight mission, STS-114.
