Fixing Launch Pad 39A Will Cost $2.7M, NASA Says

Jun. 27--NASA officials on Thursday said it should cost about $2.7 million to fix a flame trench at Launch Pad 39A that was damaged May 31, when space-shuttle Discovery blasted into orbit. The launch ripped about 3,500 bricks from the east wall of the pad's north flame trench. Afterward, investigators discovered that corrosion to the structure, combined with the stress of launch, was the culprit. Repairs to the wall are expected to begin today and should finish by the third week in August, well before the next shuttle launch planned for Oct. 8.

Launch Pad Repairs to Begin; Hubble Repair Mission Should Go As Scheduled

Work will begin on Friday to repair damaged sections of Kennedy Space Center’s launch pad 39A that was damaged during the last space shuttle launch on May 31. On Thursday, (June 26) NASA managers approved a plan that would complete the repairs by the third week of August. Therefore the mission schedule shouldn’t be impacted. The next space shuttle flight, the high-profile final mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope is scheduled to launch on October 8, and if all goes well with the repairs, space shuttle Atlantis would crawl its way out to the pad on August 29. "We really like the plan," said shuttle Program Manager John Shannon. "We expect to start moving out on it right away."
