Space Shuttle Discovery's STS-114 was NASA's first Return to Flight mission after the 2003 Columbia disaster, delivering supplies and testing new inspection and repair techniques at the ISS. Foam debris shed from the external tank during ascent prompted NASA to ground subsequent shuttle flights for further fixes.
