KSC-95EC-0852 - Woodpecker Preventative measures at Launch Pad 39B 


Technicians at Launch Pad 39B take steps to prevent further damage
from woodpeckers to the Space Shuttle Discovery, set to lift off July
13 on Mission STS-70. Installing balloons with scary eyes, such as
these two near the external tank, are just one of the measures being
taken to keep woodpeckers away since Discovery's second rollout to Pad
B. Discovery had to be rolled back once to the Vehicle Assembly
Building to repair woodpecker holes made in the insulation covering
the external tank.
