About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — This photo shows the leaking hydraulic seal in space shuttle Discovery's right main-gear strut. United Space Alliance and B.F. Goodrich technicians are working to replace the seal. The struts act as shock absorbers during the shuttle's landing. Engineers determined the observed leak of hydraulic fluid in the main landing gear strut exceeded specification and could not be reduced to an acceptable rate.
