For journalists working on the Space Shuttle disaster, we have
put
together
a list of resources at http://www.ire.org/inthenews.html
There are at least 13 stories in our Resource Center about the
Space
Shuttle
that might be of assistance. You can see the complete list of resources
on
our "In the News" page. We will update this page as the story develops.
We also are reviewing relevant data in our data library. Keep
in mind
that the Space Shuttle is refurbished by contractors from around
the
country. IRE
Members may find the Federal Contractors database at
http://notes.ire.org/cfic/fpds/index.html. From this data, the
staff has
assembled a special database on Shuttle contractors, which can be ordered
from the library at (573) 884-7711.
And if I may add a site I found helpful.
http://www.nauts.com/
It has a pretty accurate listing of Columbia's previous flights.
I was having a hard time finding info on NASA's website and found the following elsewhere:
http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/spacestats.html (includes stats on fatalities)
http://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts107/030201columbia/radarimage.html
has radar image of debris field and links to data on mission
Trying to find your way around the NASA site due to the tragedy is a challenge.
Here are a few direct links that could save you some time.

Given the blanket of media covering the Columbia shuttle disaster, the
best thing we can do is
point you to some primary sources. NASA's Columbia Web site has links to
practically all the
information the agency is releasing. That info and NASA's daily teleconferences
(available
online via NASA TV) are basically the fodder that the media is digesting
and passing on to the
public. While you can find many places from which to follow the press coverage,
we
recommend the Space.com archive for completeness and clear organization.
The general tone
of worldwide editorial opinion is probably best reflected in the collection
of editorial cartoons
about the tragedy at Daryl Cagle's Professional Cartoonist Index. A fantastic
independent
resource is a FAQ, continually updated, set up by the folks who inhabit
the sci.space.shuttle
and sci.space.history Usenet newsgroups. For a first-rate technical background
on the shuttle,
see the "Development of the Space Shuttle" books in our book recommendations,
