A report centered on the February 1, 2003, re-entry accident that destroyed space shuttle Columbia concludes the crew survived less than a minute after the craft flew out of control. The report confirms the crew did nothing wrong that caused or contributed to the disaster.
The report also suggests changes in emergency training for astronauts, as well as changes in cabin design. Since no more shuttles will be built, and the new Orion spacecraft takes a fundamentally different approach to re-entry and landing, however, many of the suggestions may have to wait for the next generation of manned space vehicle.
