STRUCTURAL INSPECTION & MODIFICATION PERIOD

Vehicle

Discovery/OV-103

Shuttle Processing Note (previous notes)

With most of Discovery's post-flight processing complete, workers have closed the orbiter's payload bay doors. Managers are assessing local weather conditions to determine the best time for Discovery and Atlantis to swap locations.

Orbiter Discovery is scheduled to begin a thorough structural inspection and modification period after STS-105 post-flight work concludes. Shuttle managers continue to assess the content, schedule and location of this planned work period.
