NASA has decided to replace leaky hydraulic seals aboard the space shuttle Discovery, which might cause a delay in a launching planned for Oct. 23. The leak was traced to the right main landing gear strut, which cushions the impact when the shuttle lands. Early efforts to correct the problem by cycling the hydraulic system did not work as well as officials had hoped, and so âthe decision was, âLetâs just go ahead and bite the bullet and change the seals,â â said Kyle Herring, a NASA spokesman. NASA has five extra days built into the launching schedule, and officials said the work, which requires removing the wheels and brakes, might be completed without causing a slip of the launching date.
