Inside Space Shuttle Columbia STS-107 During The Accident -- COMPLETE VIDEO
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
On February 1, 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed in a disaster that claimed the lives of all seven of its crew. This video is from inside the crew cabin of Space Shuttle Columbia as it begins its re-entry and contains approximately an extra 5 minutes of footage not seen elsewhere. While February 1 was an occasion for mourning, the efforts that ensued can be a source of national pride. NASA publicly and forthrightly informed the nation about the accident and all the associated information that became available. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board was established within two hours of the loss of signal from the returning spacecraft in accordance with procedures established by NASA following the Challenger accident 17 years earlier. The crew members lost that morning were explorers in the finest tradition, and since then, everyone associated with the Board has felt that we were laboring in their legacy. NASA and the Columbia Investigation Board (CAIB) sought to discover the conditions that produced this tragic outcome and to share those lessons in such a way that this nationʼs space program will emerge stronger and more sure-footed. If those lessons are truly learned, then Columbiaʼs crew will have made an indelible contribution to the endeavor each one valued so greatly. The Orbiterʼs destruction, just 16 minutes before scheduled touchdown, shows that space flight is still far from routine. It involves a substantial element of risk, which must be recognized, but never accepted with resignation. The seven Columbia astronauts believed that the risk was worth the reward.

I'm curious how the video footage was acquired. It must have been transmitted to earth as it was being shot, otherwise the film and/or camera would have had to have been recovered as debris on the ground AFTER surviving the re-entry. Can someone educate me on how the video footage survived?

NASA = Need Another Seven Astronauts

There is no movie about the last moments aboard. Indeed, there is, but it will never be made public. Fortunately. Cursed lovers of morbidity and atrocities.

What is it about the act of holding a camera that suddenly makes people want to become 'talk-show host' with all the "and here we are looking at the landing checklist... oh and here is the captain, say hello captain!" Hello just film the thing already.. i mean who elected her video announcer?
