Summary
| Description |
English: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – During the removal of external fuel tank foam insulation on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians identified two cracks, each about 9 inches long, on a section of the tank’s metal exterior. The foam cracked during initial loading operations for space shuttle Discovery’s launch attempt on Nov. 5. The cracks are on one of the stringers, which are the composite aluminum ribs located vertically on the tank’s intertank area. Engineers will review images of the cracks to determine the best possible repair method, which would be done at the pad. Discovery's next launch attempt is no earlier than Nov. 30 at 4:02 a.m. EST.
