Space shuttle Discovery has arrived at ISS to begin the meat of the STS-124 mission, the installation of the second of three modules of Japan's Kibo lab.
Meanwhile, preliminary inspection of Discovery showed no obvious problems with the heat shield tiles. The external tank used in the launch was designed to limit the amount of foam that would break off, and the new design seems to have worked. NASA is still carrying out more detailed analysis of both the tank and the orbiter, however.
