mission patch
Columbia
broke-up during reentry resulting in the tragic
loss of the STS-107 crew and the orbiter. NASA,
SPACEHAB, and members of the STARS Academy had
prepared for STS-107 for over two years. This mission
marked the debut of SPACEHAB's Research Double
Module, with over 100 experiments
onboard.
As
the 113th shuttle mission and her 28th
flight,Columbia had just celebrated the 20th anniversary
of its maiden voyage. Columbia returned to service,
fresh from a year and a half of maintenance and
upgrades. More
than 100 modifications and improvements were
made to make Columbia ready for flight.
