About this work
S81-31319 (14 April 1981) --- One of the STS-1 solid rocket boosters (SRB) is towed back to shore after landing in the Atlantic Ocean following the jettisoning of both of Columbia?s SRB en route to her Earth-orbital mission. The UTC Freedom and Liberty (pictured) were involved in the recovery of the reusable boosters. Astronauts John W. Young, commander, and Robert L. Crippen, pilot, are orbiting Earth for approximately two and a third days aboard Columbia.
