About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - Mike Leinbach, who is Shuttle launch director, looks closely at a piece of debris in the RLV Hangar. To date, 35,319 pieces of debris have been shipped to KSC; 1,218 have been identified and placed on a grid in a configuration of the orbiter. The team is attempting to reconstruct the bottom of the orbiter as part of the investigation into the accident that caused the destruction of Columbia and loss of its crew as it returned to Earth on mission STS-107.
