KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - A technician with United Space Alliance works inside orbiter Discovery before power-up of the vehicle in the Orbiter Processing Facility . Discovery has been undergoing Orbiter Major Modifications in the past year, ranging from wiring, control panels and black boxes to gaseous and fluid systems tubing and components. These systems were deserviced, disassembled, inspected, modified, reassembled, checked out and reserviced, as were most other systems onboard. The work includes the installation of the Multifunction Electronic Display Subsystem (MEDS) - a state-of-the-art “glass cockpit.”
