Thinkpad (AXcess News) Reno - A mysterious oxygen leak in Discovery was cause for concern to NASA scientists after finding that the explosive gas may have leaked into the shuttle's rear engine compartment during NASA's first Discovery launch Thursday since the Columbia disaster.

Microsoft NASA scientists had been going over data from the test flight to the International Space Station when they found indications that oxygen may have leaked into the engine compartment about two minutes after the space shuttle's liftoff.

Laptop Computers At first, NASA scientists thought the data may have been incorrect and an oxygen leak could not have occurred, but they were unsure so a formal investigation is now underway.

Laptop Computer Before the next shuttle mission can occur, NASA says it has to be sure an oxygen leak into the engine compartment did not happen or the mission will be scraped. If an oxygen leak did occur the highly combustible gas could cause an explosion.

Desktop Computer Kyle Herring, a spokesman for NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston was quoted as saying, "We're going to run this thing to ground and make sure we understand it."

Notebooks When the Discovery was launched into space July 29 NASA scientists were monitoring data from its 9-minute flight into orbit. At that time the data being transferred from Discovery to the NASA space center in Houston gave no indications of a gas leak.

Lenovo The shuttle Discovery's external fuel tank holds 500,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen to propel the shuttle into orbit. NASA said that Discovery's three main engines gave no indication of any problems and that the flight into space went smoothly.

Hard Drive NASA said that had there been any shortage of fuel the shuttle would not have been able to make it into orbit, requiring the use of its twin orbital maneuvering engines to climb into space and orbit the Earth.

Travelstar During pre-launch and final launch, NASA monitors the oxygen level in the engine compartment as well as when the fuel is being loaded into the shuttle's fuel tank to make sure there is no build-up of gas that could cause a launch to be aborted.

Gateway The data that caught NASA by surprise was from the space shuttle's "catch bottles", which monitor the gas levels within engine compartment, taking random samples of the air. But the data from catch bottles is not accessible until a flight returns to Earth, NASA said.

Laptop Parts Four such devices monitor gas levels on all shuttle flights. Three of those showed the oxygen levels in the engine compartment were normal but a fourth showed corrupt data.

Software The next shuttle mission is slated for May and NASA hopes to meet its launch date. NASA said that the investigation into an oxygen leak will not interfere with its preparation for pre-flight of that shuttle mission.

Hard Drives Engineers pouring over the oxygen leak data are to report their findings to NASA control in January.
