Debris/Ice/TPS Assessment and Integrated Photographic Analysis of Shuttle Mission STS-104

Oliu, Armando; January 2005; 82 pp.; In English; Original contains color and black and white illustrations Report No.(s): NASA/TM-2005-211536; No Copyright; Avail.: CASI: A05, Hardcopy

The Debris Team has developed and implemented measures to control damage from debris in the Shuttle operational environment and to make the control measures a part of routine launch flows. These measures include engineering surveillance during vehicle processing and closeout operations, facility and flight hardware inspections before and after launch, and photographic analysis of mission events. Photographic analyses of mission imagery from launch, on-orbit, and landing provide significant data in verifying proper operation of systems and evaluating anomalies. In addition to the Kennedy Space Center Photo/Video Analysis, reports from Johnson Space Center and Marshall Space Flight Center are also included in this document to provide an integrated assessment of the mission.
