Technicians at the Space Station Processing Facility lower a Thermal Protection System Sample Box (upper left) toward the Lightweight Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure Carrier (LMC) for a fit check. The box is the actual flight hardware scheduled to fly on the Space Shuttle Return to Flight mission STS-114. The fit check is performed to ensure the hardware mates properly with the newly modified LMC and will be returned to NASAs Johnson Space Center for installation of tile samples in support of the STS-114 mission. The Thermal Protection Detailed Test Objective will enable astronauts to test new on-orbit Thermal Protection System repair techniques. Mission STS-114 is scheduled to launch in May 2005.
