About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — United Space Alliance technician Larry Tanner uses a contour tool to determine the fit needed for the gap filler against the orbiter’s frame. Discovery is being processed in Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 3 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. This work is being performed due to two gap fillers that were protruding from the underside of Discovery on the first Return to Flight mission, STS-114.
