A worker in the Orbiter Processing Facility installs a new carrier panel on the orbiter Discovery. The new panel has an added thermal barrier that performs as a flow restrictor to further protect the wing leading edges. The panels fit between the Reinforced Carbon Carbon panel and the vehicle. The change is one of the safety features for return to flight. Discovery is the orbiter designated for the Return to Flight mission, STS-114. The launch window is May 12 to June 3, 2005.
