Scott Hubbard, Research Ctr. Director:
What I can say is if such a crack had been found on inspection, you would not fly with it.
It's the best re-creation investigators have to finding out what caused the shuttle Columbia's fiery crash that killed 7 astronauts. And it may prove the widely held theory that falling foam during Columbia's lift off led to the shuttles end. Now we have the first evidence that foam that is like what happened in the accident can in fact damage a piece of the RCC.
Investigators will examine the damaged reinforced carbon more closely to see if such a crack would have allowed gases to enter the wing during re-entry. This is the latest test in a series of experiments. Last weeks simulation fired a piece of foam at a fiberglass panel bringing dramatic results. NASA still has another month before a final report is made.
Today's test may provide the data to prove what happened, but investigators can never be able to say with certainty the falling foam
or something else was the smoking gun.
