Since the Columbia accident, the shuttles have been grounded pending redesigns to improve their safety
The 2005 shuttle Discovery was supposed to initiate the return to flight, but a large piece of insulating foam broke free from its external fuel tank, leaving scientists to solve the mystery and the program grounded once more
In this article, we examine the monumental technology behind America's shuttle program, the mission it was designed to carry out, and the extraordinary efforts that NASA has done to return the shuttle to flight

The Basics Let's look at the parts of the space shuttle and a typical mission
The space shuttle consists of the following major components: two solid rocket boosters (SRB) - critical for the launch external fuel tank (ET) - carries fuel for the launch orbiter - carries astronauts and payload Space shuttle mission profile
Columbia Shuttle Breaks up over Texas
[CNN]
HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- Human remains found in a field in Texas late Saturday are believed to be those of at least one of the seven astronauts who perished aboard space shuttle Columbia when it disintegrated nearly 40 miles above the Earth
() FBI agents in Texas are helping local authorities recover shuttle debris, FBI Dallas field office spokeswoman Lori Bailey told CNN
() Those killed on the ill-fated shuttle flight were commander Rick D
People were urged not to go near the debris because it could contain toxic substances from the shuttle fuel
) Officials asked anyone who finds shuttle debris to call (281) 483-3388
Questions raised about foam piece that fell during launch Even as they mourn for their seven friends and colleagues killed in the shuttle disaster, NASA officials have begun investigating why Columbia broke into pieces
We can't let their sacrifice be in vain, ' said NASA associate Administrator Bill Readdy, a veteran of two shuttle flights
() Shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore said the first indication of trouble was loss of temperature sensors on the left wing
A lot more analysis and evidence needs to come to the table.' () A NASA official said the shuttle's altitude made it 'highly unlikely' that it was a victim of a terrorist act

One year later, the Space Shuttle Challenger rolled off the assembly line as the second shuttle of the US fleet
The Space Shuttle Challenger flew nine successful missions before that fateful day of the disaster in 1986
Shuttle mission 51L was much like most other missions
The Challenger was scheduled to carry some cargo, the Tracking Data Relay Satellite-2 (TDRS-2), as well as fly the Shuttle-Pointed Tool for Astronomy (SPARTAN-203)/Halley's Comet Experiment Deployable, a free-flying module designed to observe tail and coma of Halleys comet with two ultraviolet spectrometers and two cameras
