But NASA is working with SpaceX to be on the safe side and check for any chips, cracks, holes, or other damage. "The trunk does not completely cover the thermal protection system, and the survey will be able to visually inspect those areas," Schierholz said. "Also, if micrometeoroid damage is observed on the trunk, then NASA can take additional inspection activities if deemed necessary."
