In the Orbiter Processing Facility, United Space Alliance (USA) worker Paul Ogletree points to an area on Discovery’s nose cap while Ross Neubarth (right), also with USA, looks at the monitor. Behind Ogletree is USA worker Ken Tauer. The nose cap is undergoing thermography, one type of inspection to verify integrity of hardware before flight. This procedure uses high intensity light to heat areas that are immediately scanned with an infrared camera to check for internal flaws. Discovery is the vehicle assigned to the Return to Flight mission, STS-114.
