Summary edit

Description
English: On Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a new 7-inch quick disconnect is installed on the ground umbilical carrier plate (GUCP) of space shuttle Discovery's external fuel tank. A hydrogen gas leak at that location during tanking for Discovery's STS-133 mission to the International Space Station caused the launch attempt to be scrubbed Nov. 5. The GUCP is the overboard vent to the pad and the flame stack where the excess hydrogen is burned off.
