摘要

When NASA's Discovery orbiter returns the shuttle fleet to flight status later this year, it will mark the culmination of a series of modifications, redesigns and the development of new tools designed to in-crease the safety of human spaceflight. Those changes, more than two years in the making, include the installation of new tools for on-orbit inspection, sensors to detect impacts during launch and a host of new processes to prevent accidents like the one that led to the destruction of the Space Shuttle Columbia and the deaths of its seven-astronaut crew Feb. 1, 2003. Columbia was damaged during launch by a suitcase-sized chunk of foam insulation, which detached from the external tank and ripped a hole in the leading edge of the or-biter's left wing. During re-entry, hot gases entered the hole and caused so much damage that Columbia broke up.
