About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Workers in the Orbiter Processing Facility watch closely as Discovery’s Forward Reaction Control System (FRCS) is lowered into position in the orbiter’s forward fuselage nose area. The FRCS provides the thrust for attitude (rotational) maneuvers (pitch, yaw and roll) and for small velocity changes along the orbiter axis (translation maneuvers). Discovery is designated as the Return to Flight vehicle for mission STS-114, no earlier than March 2005.
