US-SPACE SHUTTLE-ATLANTIS REPAIR
This 07 March, 2007 NASA handout image shows technicians on an upper level of high bay 1 in the Vehicle Assembly Building(VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, preparing the area around the nose cone (foreground) of Atlantis' external tank that will undergo repair for hail damage. A severe thunderstorm with golf ball-sized hail caused visible divots in the giant tank's foam insulation and minor surface damage to about 26 heat shield tiles on the shuttle's left wing. Further evaluation of the tank is necessary to get an accurate accounting of foam damage and determine the type of repair required and the time needed for that work. The repairs have forced the postponement of the suttle launch to no earlier than 20 April. AFP PHOTO/HO/NASA
