This ice chunk could come loose during launch and damage Discovery.
The shuttle ice inspection team was sent back out the pad to inspect a four-inch piece of ice on the fuel line bracket.
The piece of ice was found on the 17-inch liquid hydrogen umbilical fuel line that goes into the tank.
The ice appeared to be 4 inches by 1.5 inches in diameter.
The final inspection team will send photos back to the launch team for inspection by mission managers.
