Microsoft Feb 10, 2005 (AXcess News) Cape Canaveral FL - With the launch of the space shuttle only three months away, NASA remains undecided on which techniques for in-flight repair on the heat shield to test.

Laptop Computers NASA is under pressure to avoid another accident like the space shuttle Columbia, which burnt up and killed seven crew members over faulty heat shields. That's why NASA has put a high priority on testing in-flight repairs of its heat shield, though scientists there are stumped as to the technique they should use. The heat shield repair techniques are a crucial part of the Discovery mission, due to launch on May 14. NASA engineers want to perfect a method to remain in orbit and complete any in-flight repairs to its heat shields to avoid another disaster which could threaten the program's continuance under the current Bush administration budget.

Laptop Computer NASA engineers are considering three different procedures for repairing the shuttle's protective tiles and two methods of patching carbon panels on the edges of the wings, both critical to keeping the shuttle intact during re-entry.The Discovery's May flight will carry a six-man crew, headed by Mission commander Eileen Collins. Collins was quoted in a Reuters story as saying that her crew had been preparing for this flight for three years and were prepared to manage unexpected situations while in orbit. Soichi Noguchi and Steve Robinson, two Collins' crew aboard the Discovery told Reuters that the method they had practiced most was using a caulking gun and a Advertisement

Sun, Dec 9, 2007 Shuttle Launch Off Until January Dec 9, AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA on Sunday delayed the launch of space shuttle Atlantis until January after a gauge in the fuel tank failed for the second time in four days. With only a few days remaining in the launch window for the shuttle's mission to the international space station, senior managers decided to stand down until next month in hopes of better understanding the perplexing and persistent fuel gauge problem.

Notebooks In the Columbia spaceship accident a piece of insulation fell off the shuttle's fuel tank during launch and tore a hole in the spacecraft's left wing. When the Columbia attempted to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere the tremendous heat caused by re-entry friction destroyed the shuttle and killing its crew, having gone undetected until its fateful re-entry on February 1, 2003.NASA's engineering team was to meet Thursday to go over its in-flight repair test methods and hopefully decide on a viable, safe technique crew members could deploy safely.

Lenovo The engineering team hopes to decide by the end of the month, but if a hole were to be discovered, like the one in Columbia, NASA says it could not expect its crew to be prepared to repair it.

Hard Drive If that were to happen again, NASA is developing a plan to temporarily house the shuttle crew aboard the International Space Station.
