KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Orbiter Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, workers are removing wire tray covers on Discovery and adding chafe prevention. Boroscope inspections revealed the need for the protection to prevent fasteners from causing minor chafing on the tubing surrounding the wires. Discovery is the designated orbiter for Return to Flight mission STS-114 to the International Space Station. The launch window for the mission is May 15 to June 3, 2005.
