About this work

Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the Orbiter Processing Facility, Ross Neubarth, with United Space Alliance, prepares Discovery’s nose cap for thermography. This procedure uses high intensity light to heat areas that are immediately scanned with an infrared camera to check for internal flaws. The thermography is one type of inspection to verify integrity of hardware before flight. Discovery is the vehicle assigned to the Return to Flight mission, STS-114.
