CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Crews in Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida remove space shuttle Discovery's right-hand inner heat shield from engine No. 1. The removal is part of Discovery's transition and retirement processing. Work performed on Discovery is expected to help rocket designers build next-generation spacecraft and prepare the shuttle for future public display.Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-2011-2395

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - KSC Director Roy D. Bridges (second from left) inspects Columbia debris arriving at KSC from the collection point at Barksdale Air Force Base, Shreveport, La. The debris is being collected at the RLV Hangar near the Shuttle Landing Facility. Workers there will attempt to reconstruct the orbiter as part of the ongoing investigation of the accident that destroyed the Columbia and claimed the lives of seven astronauts as they returned to Earth after a 16-day research mission, STS-107.
