Also a friend of mine
Dr.
Paul Ronney. Who should have been on Shuttle mission STS-107 but
was bumped to make room for Ilan Ramon (Colonel, Israel Air Force).
Yes, this is the Shuttle
that blew up on re-entry.
STS-107 was a space shuttle mission
by NASA using the Space Shuttle Columbia, launched January 16, 2003. The
seven-member crew was killed on February 1, 2003 when the shuttle disintegrated
during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. The cause of the accident was a
piece of foam that broke off during launch and damaged the thermal protection
system components (reinforced carbon-carbon panels and thermal protection tiles)
on the leading edge of the left wing of the Shuttle orbiter, causing an
extensive heat build-up. During re-entry the damaged wing slowly overheated and
came apart, eventually leading to loss of control and total disintegration of
the vehicle.
