KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - At Launch Complex 39B, a technician in Space Shuttle Discovery's payload bay prepares a borescope for an inspection of the retract link assembly on the orbiter's main landing gear door. The inspection is a precautionary measure after a small crack was found in a retract link assembly on the right-hand main landing gear on orbiter Atlantis. An initial review of the closeout photos of the link assembly on Discovery did not reveal any cracks.
