Problem with the shuttle wing?
I was just listening to the radio and they said that NASA is monitoring the left wing on Discovery. Sensors in the wing went off, I do not remember the exact cause but I am looking for the story online.

I also heard on the news that there have been some "scrapes and scratches" (quoted) found. The exact location wasn't given.
One (or more) of the astronauts will probably do a close-up visual inspection during one of the spacewalks, just to make sure. Plus, they have the robotic arm with extension that they can use to photograph the area(s) of interest.

They will take a close look at the wing. Seems they are prepared to make repairs in orbit. Will be interesting to watch.
