"The Space Shuttle Columbia Crew Survival Investigation"
Topic: Learn How These Events Correlate with Aviation Safety and Our Mindset

On Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 18:00 Eastern Standard Time (15:00 PST;
16:00 MST; 17:00 CST; 13:00 HST; 14:00 AKST; 16:00 Arizona; 23:00 GMT)


Select Number: EA61141646

Description:
This presentation is a National offering that examines what happened to the crew and the crew module of Columbia during entry. It does not address the cause of the accident. That was more than adequately addressed by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, formed on the day of the accident as a Presidential Commission. It will examine the five events that occurred post de-orbit burn that had lethal potential. By evaluating each event in turn, a picture of crew survivability for future accidents can be painted. Of course, the Columbia crew experienced all five events from which there was no hope of survival. We learn how to correlate these events into our own general aviation safety mindset.
Join Dr. Nigel Packham as he digs into the details over a two hour presentation. This is an event that is not to be missed!
