No changes in re-entry could have saved shuttle
NO changes in the way the space shuttle Columbia returned to Earth would have saved it, a NASA report has concluded.
He said the report was “looking at just the very narrow question of what re-entry options could be pursued that might have been different from the one that was taken and would that materially have made a difference”.
Mr O’Keefe noted the report does not look at what could have been done during the 16-day mission had NASA known of the seriousness of the breach.
The report was conducted by a team led by LeRoy Cain, who was at Mission Control on the day of the accident.
