about us
Our analysis determined that the risk to the Shuttle was slightly higher than average for Shuttle missions because of the orientation and the duration of the particular flight. The image at right shows the relative threats to different parts of the Orbiter for the mission as a whole, with red areas the most likely to be hit, blue the least.
