  • Space Shuttle Discovery Launched on the First Post-Columbia Mission on July 26, 2005, 905 Days After the Accident
    AFTERWORD Space shuttle Discovery launched on the first post-Columbia mission on July 26, 2005, 905 days after the accident. Coincidentally, the launch took place at 10:39 A.M. EDT, the same time as Columbia’s launch on its final flight. STS-114 was the culmination of a $1.4 billion effort to improve the shuttle, most notably the External Tank. The bipod foam was replaced with an electrical heater to prevent ice from forming. Marshall Space- flight Center External Tank manager Sandy Coleman promised that no foam larger than a marshmallow would fall off of the improved tank. In the 147-page press kit’s description of all of the improvements to the shuttle, KSC’s acceptance of the industry standard definition for FOD (Foreign Object Debris) is presented as a positive. In a spin doctor- ing attempt it’s described how new FOD procedures improve safety, and ignores that FOD rules existed until two years before the Columbia acci- dent when the rules were reduced in a conscious move to make more bonus money for the contractor. Over 100 tracking cameras viewed Discovery’s launch. The E208 camera in Cocoa Beach, the one that had been “soft focused” on STS- 107, was replaced with a state-of-the-art setup. Cameras were also mounted on Discovery’s External Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters, and The bipod fitting on STS-114, on the right, shows the most significant external change— there is no longer any foam on the bipod fitting. 428 AFTERWORD 429 two aircraft with high-definition cameras offered the unique perspective of a shuttle flying toward the viewer.

  • The Columbia Tragedy, the Discovery Mission, and the Future of the Shuttle
    Order Code RS21408 Updated October 13, 2005 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web NASA’s Space Shuttle Program: The Columbia Tragedy, the Discovery Mission, and the Future of the Shuttle Marcia S. Smith Resources, Science, and Industry Division Summary On August 9, 2005, the space shuttle Discovery successfully completed the first of two “Return to Flight” (RTF) missions — STS-114. It was the first shuttle launch since the February 1, 2003, Columbia tragedy. NASA announced on July 27, 2005, the day after STS-114’s launch, that a second RTF mission has been indefinitely postponed because of a problem that occurred during Discovery’s launch that is similar to what led to the loss of Columbia. Two shuttle-related facilities in Mississippi and Louisiana were damaged by Hurricane Katrina, which may further delay the next shuttle launch. It currently is expected some time in 2006. This report discusses the Columbia tragedy, the Discovery mission, and issues for Congress regarding the future of the shuttle. For more information, see CRS Issue Brief IB93062, Space Launce Vehicles: Government Activities, Commercial Competition, and Satellite Exports, by Marcia Smith. This report is updated regularly. The Loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia The space shuttle Columbia was launched on its STS-107 mission on January 16, 2003. After completing a 16-day scientific research mission, Columbia started its descent to Earth on the morning of February 1, 2003. As it descended from orbit, approximately 16 minutes before its scheduled landing at Kennedy Space Center, FL, Columbia broke apart over northeastern Texas. All seven astronauts aboard were killed: Commander Rick Husband; Pilot William McCool; Mission Specialists Michael P.

  • CHRONOLOGY of WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 12/26/2013
    CHRONOLOGY OF WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 12/26/2013 The idea for the Wakeup Call chronology arose as a result of my dual interests in the history of music and the space program. I discovered as soon as I began working as an archivist at the NASA History Office that there was no complete list of these calls sent from Mission Control. There have always been inquiries about flown items and mission events as we all know, and those about wakeup calls and music played in space encompassed a steady stream (no pun intended)! And NASA’s Web pages did provide audio for these calls beginning with STS-85 with the note that: “Wakeup calls are a longstanding tradition of the NASA program” -- yet nothing on when it started. One of the most frequent inquiries was and still is – What was the first wakeup call? (I later learned that it was “Hello Dolly” sent during Gemini 6). So with the blessing of the history staff I began compiling a chronology using the sources in the NASA Historical Reference Collection here at NASA Headquarters. The Space Shuttle portion of the Chronology proved to be the most challenging since the Johnson Space Center Audio Control Room Recorder Log began with STS-80. In 2005, I was able to visit JSC Public Affairs and make copies from their query books to fill in the gap. Still there were Space Shuttle wakeup calls, even entire missions, that remained elusive. The other sources that I used are listed at the end of this PDF.

Smith Specialist in Aerospace and Telecommunications Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Summary On February 1, 2003, NASA’s Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart while returning to Earth from a 16-day science mission in orbit. All seven astronauts — six Americans and one Israeli — were killed. An investigation is underway. This report provides quick facts about Columbia, her crew, the STS-107 mission, the status of the investigation, and a brief discussion of issues for Congress. Additional information on the space shuttle program is available in CRS Issue Brief IB93062, CRS Report RS21411, and CRS Report RS21419. This report will be updated often.

Thomas 281-483-9018 Typist: DA8/Karen.J. Chisholm 281-483-1091 281-483-5988 IN MEMORIAM Bob Legler April 4, 1927 - March 16, 2007 Bob Legler, the originator of this Space Shuttle Missions Summary Book, was born a natural Corn Husker and lived a full life. His true love was serving his country in the US Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, United Nations, US Army, and the NASA Space Programs as an aerospace engineer. As one of a handful of people to ever support the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Space Shuttle, and International Space Station missions, Bob was an icon to his peers. He spent 44 years in this noble endeavor called manned space flight. In the memorial service for Bob, Milt Heflin provided the following insight: “Bob was about making things happen, no matter what his position or rank, in whatever the enterprise was at that time…it might have been dodging bullets and bombs while establishing communication systems for United Nations outposts in crazy places…it might have been while riding the Coastal Sentry Quebec Tracking ship in the Indian Ocean…watching over the Lunar Module electrical power system or the operation of the Apollo Telescope Mount…serving as a SPAN Manager in the MCC (where a lot of really good stories were told during crew sleep)…or even while serving as the Chairman of the Annual FOD Chili Cook-off or his beloved Chairmanship of the Apollo Flight
