In the Orbiter Processing Facility, STS-114 Mission Specialists Soichi Noguchi, left, (with the Japanese Space Agency), Stephen Robinson, center, and Andrew Thoma, right, look closely at the tiles over the nose cap on Discovery. On the far right is Cindy Begley, lead EVA flight controller. The tiles are part of the Thermal Protection System on the orbiter. They and other crew members are at KSC for Crew Equipment Interface Test activities. During CEIT, the crew has an opportunity to get a hands-on look at the orbiter and equipment they will be working with on the mission. Return to Flight Mission STS-114 will carry the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello, filled with supplies for the International Space Station, and a replacement Control Moment Gyroscope. Launch of STS-114 has a launch window of May 12 to June 3.
