NASA discovered singe marks in primary 0-ring seals on both the Shuttle Discovery, launched July 13, and the Shuttle Atlantis, launched on June 27. The seals are in one of five nozzle joints in the Redesigned Solid Rocket Motor (RSRM) on the left boosters. Neither flight encountered problems. The investigation will delay the August launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour on mission STS-69.
