COLUMBIA ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION BOARD REPORT VOLUMES AVAILABLE TUESDAY ON NASA WEB SITE

Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 10 a.m. EST, Volumes II-VI of the 
Columbia Accident Investigation Board's report will be available on 
the NASA Web site, http://www.nasa.gov. These volumes contain 
appendices and additional information that provide the supporting 
documentation for the main text of Volume I, which was released on 
August 26.

The Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) said in its Oct. 24 
press statement that other conclusions and proposed recommendations 
drawn in Vols. II-VI do not necessarily reflect the views of the CAIB 
but are included for the record. When there is conflict, Vol. I takes 
precedence. It alone is the CAIB's official statement.

Hard copies of Vols. I-VI are available through the Government 
Printing Office for a fee. Those copies can be ordered from the GPO's 
Web site, http://www.gpo.gov.

The full report will be available on the Internet after 10 a.m. at:



http://www.nasa.gov
and
