CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In Orbiter Processing Facility-1 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United Space Alliance mid-body mechanic Saul Ngy performs torque checks on a wrist camera before it is installed on the orbiter boom sensor system, or OBSS, in space shuttle Atlantis' payload bay. Atlantis is being prepared for its upcoming STS-132 mission. The 50-foot-long OBSS attaches to the end of the shuttle’s robotic arm and supports the cameras and laser systems used to inspect the shuttle’s thermal protection system while in space. Atlantis will deliver an Integrated Cargo Carrier and Russian-built Mini Research Module to the International Space Station on STS-132. Launch is targeted for May 14. Photo credit: NASA_Jim Grossmann
