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