Description
Space Shuttle Discovery's external fuel tank as it was jettisoned after launch on July 26, 2005. The image reveals a large piece of foam that separated from the tank during the shuttle's ascent to orbit. The foam detached from an area of the tank called the Protuberance Air Load (PAL) ramp. The area of missing foam on the tank is indicated by a light spot centered just below the liquid oxygen feedline.
