Episode Introduction
NASA engineers at JSC and Boeing used a crude impact analysis which was inadequate and led to the wrong decision which resulted in the Columbia accident. Dr. Ed Fasanella was a research engineer at NASA Langley who, against the wishes of Shuttle Program Managers, led a team of NASA researchers which developed an accurate physics-based understanding of the ballistic impact which caused the Columbia accident in only 4 months.
