Fuel Leak Discovered In Discovery’s Orbital Engine System

NASA is working hard to repair Discovery’s orbital engine system which has sprung a leak.

Repair crews will be working hard to replace a set of seals on the shuttle to prevent fuel from leaking, thus putting its last flight in danger.

Six astronauts will be blasting off into space with the destination being the International Space Station, and will be bringing tons of supplies up with them.

Currently it is not known how the leak began, and engineers are trying to figure this out so that they can prevent it from happening again.

This is the last set back that NASA can afford to have if they hope to launch the shuttle on its last mission into space on November 1st.
