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.

ORBITER MAJOR MODIFICATION PERIOD

Shuttle Processing Note: Discovery was moved from the VAB back to the OPF
this morning, where it will remain until the arrival of Endeavour at KSC. As
part of an analysis of the flow liner cracks found on Atlantis, similar
inspections will be performed on Discovery this weekend.
