Processing Note (previous
notes) |
 Technicians at the Pad have successfully completed the replacement of the faulty flex hose assembly that caused a leak in the Environmental Control and Life Support System oxygen line during Endeavour’s countdown last Sunday. Retests and X-rays of the newly installed assembly and bulkhead fitting have been completed and were cleared for flight. The line that was removed was sent to the malfunction lab for analysis to determine the cause of the leak.
Robotic arm experts arrived yesterday evening at KSC to inspect a scrape on the surface of the arm's honeycomb shell that occurred while work platforms were being installed to gain access to repair the oxygen leak in the Shuttle’s mid body. This morning, the team’s plan is to cut out the damaged segment of the honeycomb and perform ultrasound testing of the structure underneath. The evaluation is ongoing and managers will meet again late Friday to discuss the outcome of the testing and the engineering analysis.
