KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Space Station Processing Facility, workers close the hatch opening on the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello. Previously loaded into the Payload Canister Transporter, Raffaello was moved back to its work stand to allow the processing team access to address concerns with mechanical fasteners inside the module that do not incorporate an adequate secondary locking feature. The assessment and additional work was conducted to ensure that the fasteners do not disengage during ascent. Raffaello is scheduled to launch on Discovery’s Return to Flight mission STS-114. The launch window extends July 13 to July 31.
