Title : Columbia's no. 2 engine

Caption :

(06/29/2002) -- Columbia's no. 2 engine, removed from the orbiter, is lowered toward the floor of the Orbiter Processing Facility. After small cracks were discovered on the LH2 Main Propulsion System (MPS) flow liners in two other orbiters, program managers decided to move forward with inspections on Columbia before clearing it for flight on STS-107. The heat shields were removed, and after removing the three main engines, inspections of the flow liners will follow. The July 19 launch of Columbia on STS-107 has been delayed a few weeks.
