NASA Details Plans for Potential Fix to Discovery's Heat Shield
Tariq Malik writes in Space.com:
As shuttle managers debate whether an untried repair is needed to pry two space-filling strips from the underside of the Discovery orbiter, spacewalk planners have chosen which astronaut would perform the potential task, the mission’s lead spacewalk officer said.
Shuttle astronaut Stephen Robinson, mission specialist and flight engineer for Discovery’s STS-114 spaceflight, would perform the repair as part of a planned Aug. 3 spacewalk if mission managers decide it is necessary later today, said Cindy Begley, the flight’s lead extravehicular (EVA) officer.
