KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A Lockheed Martin external tank technician from the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans inspects the foam modification on external tank 120 in the Vehicle Assembly Building. The foam insulation and super lightweight ablator cork insulation were removed from the external tank and LO2 feed line bracket on Aug. 24 and replaced only with BX265 foam insulation. The tank is scheduled to fly on Space Shuttle Discovery in October 2007 on mission STS-120. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann
