Discovery (OV-103)

Following the Return to Flight modifications performed on Discovery during its scheduled power-down period, work on the orbiter is returning to a more normal processing flow in preparing for its future mission to the International Space Station. This week, the conical seal installation on the Rudder Speed Brake (RSB) is continuing. The conical seals provide thermal protection for the RSB hinges and drum actuators.

Work also continues on reassembling water coolant loop one, as does the routine post-operations testing on the left-hand Orbital Maneuvering System Pod thruster.
