After Shuttle Discovery's Sunday landing at KSC, workers conducted routine inspections of the orbiter's thermal protection system and landing gear. TPS inspections revealed 160 debris hits to the orbiter's lower surface with 66 hits measuring 1-inch or greater. The orbiter's tires are reported to be in excellent condition following a landing with notable cross winds. The drag chute functioned normally, having flown for the first time with upgraded inconel shear pins on the drag chute door. Draining of the power reactant storage and distribution system is complete and orbiter access installation is in work in Orbiter Processing Facility bay 1.
Preparations are under way to open the payload bay doors.
Wireless video modifications continue. Mass spectrometer leak checks on the orbiter's fuel cell power plant continue. Ammonia system leak and functional testing proceeds this week. The system will reply with a confirmation via e-mail of each subscription.
