Shuttle Processing Note (previous notes)

Processing continues for Atlantis' scheduled launch to the International Space Station this August. During visual inspections, technicians noticed a small crack in the Main Propulsion System (MPS) LH2 flow liner leading to engine No. 1. After noticing the crack, tests were performed and two more cracks were identified on the same flow liner. Workers are performing further testing to determine the cause and if corrective action is required.
