A propos de cet article

v, [1], 335, [3] pages. Illustrations. The hearing examined NASA's plan, ''NASA's Implementation Plan for Return-to-Flight and Beyond,'' which is NASA's response to the CAIB report. Issues for the hearing include whether the plan fully complies with the CAIB recommendations; the cost and schedule associated with implementing the plan; whether the task group (led by the two former astronauts Thomas Stafford and Richard Covey) that NASA has appointed to oversee return-to-flight provides the best mechanism to assess NASA's implementation; and the criteria used to determine when the Shuttle is ready to return to flight. The hearing also reviewed the impact a significant delay in return-to-flight might have on the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the proposed Orbital Space Plane. NASA appointed a Return-to-Flight Task Group, headed by former astronauts Richard Covey and Tom Stafford, to independently assess implementation of the CAIB recommendations. The Stafford-Covey Task Group was subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The Task Group would publicly report its results. The Task Group was to report on NASA's progress on meeting the intent of the CAIB. NASA plans to review the more than 3,000 waivers that exist to the Shuttle's technical specifications—a move that goes even beyond the CAIB's recommendations, but a step that was taken after the Challenger explosion. Such waivers allowed the Shuttle to continue flying, for example, without NASA fixing the foam problem even though the design requirements stipulate that no foam debris be allowed to strike the Shuttle's delicate thermal insulation. The CAIB reported that more than a third of the Shuttle's waivers had not been reviewed in over 10 years.…
