About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Now that the foam insulation is removed from the external tank, the crack in the super lightweight ablator, or SLA, cork insulation is visible as had been observed previously by X-rays. The BX265 foam insulation will later be reapplied without the SLA. The tank is scheduled to fly on Space Shuttle Discovery in October 2007 on mission STS-120. Discovery's crew will add the module Harmony that will serve as a port for installing additional international laboratories.
