Inspections of Columbia's Main Propulsion System (MPS)
Due to the magnetic property of the stainless flow liners on Columbia, ultrasonic testing proved to be a more effective means than eddy current to determine if cracks were present. Using ultrasound, technicians identified three cracks on engine two liquid hydrogen flow liner. No further decisions are expected until teams are able to inspect Endeavour late this week.
