In the back transfer aisle of the Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3, workers check an area of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS) that will be wrapped with a Thermal Protection System (TPS) blanket. The installation will conclude TPS closeout prior to installation of the boom in the orbiter Discovery. The OBSS is one of the new safety measures for Return to Flight, equipping the Shuttle with cameras and laser systems to inspect the Shuttles Thermal Protection System while in space. Discovery is designated as the Return to Flight vehicle for mission STS-114, with a launch window of May 12 to June 3, 2005.
