Discovery Processed for Public Display

From the creator

Technicians in Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida remove shuttle Discovery's forward reaction control system (FRCS) on March 22. The removal is part of Discovery's transition and retirement processing. The FRCS will be completely cleaned of all toxic fuel and oxidizer chemicals, which are used for the steering jet system while a shuttle is in orbit. The FRCS will then be put back into Discovery to help prepare the shuttle for future public display.
