Astronauts examine shuttle tiles
Discovery's astronauts have been using
a 15m-long robotic arm with sensor and
camera attachments to examine the
shuttle's heat-resistant tiles.
Video footage of Tuesday's spectacular
launch from Kennedy Space Center
revealed debris objects falling around
the orbiter during its ascent.
Nasa managers had noted an apparent
4cm-wide mark on the nose section of
the shuttle.
But the crew's efforts have yet to find
any evidence of obvious damage.
