In the Orbiter Processing Facility,
Columbia's engine no. 2 is about to be removed. After small cracks
were discovered on the LH2 Main Propulsion System (MPS) flow liners in
two other orbiters, program managers decided to move forward with
inspections on Columbia before clearing it for flight on STS-107. The
heat shields were removed, and after removing the three main engines,
inspections of the flow liners will follow. The July 19 launch of
Columbia on STS-107 has been delayed a few weeks
