KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Orbiter Processing Facility, workers help guide the nose cap (right) toward the orbiter Atlantis for installation. The nose cap was removed from the vehicle in May and sent back to the vendor for thorough Non-Destructive Engineering evaluation and recoating. Thermography was also performed to check for internal flaws. This procedure uses high intensity light to heat areas that are immediately scanned with an infrared camera. White Thermal Protection System blankets were reinstalled on the nose cap before installation. Processing continues on Atlantis for its future mission to the International Space Station. KSC-04pd1680

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Workers in the Orbiter Processing Facility get ready to remove Ground Support Equipment used to install Discovery’s nose cap on Friday. The nose cap had been removed from the vehicle in the summer of 2003 and returned to the vendor, where it underwent numerous forms of Non-Destructive Evaluation. These tests included X-ray, ultrasound and eddy current to ensure its structural integrity prior to installation on the vehicle. The nose cap was also recoated. Once returned to KSC, new Thermal Protection System blankets were assembled inside of the nose cap and thermography was performed prior to installation on the orbiter. KSC-04pd0964

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Orbiter Processing Facility, Ross Neubarth, with United Space Alliance, prepares Discovery’s nose cap for thermography. This procedure uses high intensity light to heat areas that are immediately scanned with an infrared camera to check for internal flaws. The thermography is one type of inspection to verify integrity of hardware before flight. Discovery is the vehicle assigned to the Return to Flight mission, STS-114. KSC-04pd0866
