v2appj The integrated training for <b>STSb> <b>51b>-L was divided into ascent and entry training, which was run with the ascent and entry teams in the MCC, and on-orbit simulations, which were run with the flight control team that would be on duty during the portion of the flight being simulated. The <b>STSb> <b>51b>-L training schedule was changed several times during the last 6 weeks prior to launch due to the launch slips of <b>STSb> 61-C and the desire to suspend simulations between the Christmas and New Year holidays. The final impact of the <b>STSb> 61-C launch slips on <b>STSb> <b>51b>-L training was a compression of the spacing between the dynamic phase (ascent and entry) simulations during the last 2 weeks before flight. history.nasa.gov /rogersrep/v2appj.htm   (8831 words)

v3appoe4 The salvage of <b>STSb> <b>51b>-L debris was unique due to the large geographic size (480 square nautical miles) of the search area, the small size of much of the debris being sought, the large number of contacts requiring investigation, and the random dispersion of <b>STSb> <b>51b>-L on the ocean bottom. Progress in the classification of <b>STSb> <b>51b> -L contacts for recovery was tedious and slow. Manned submersibles were selected for <b>STSb> <b>51b>-L salvage operations because 1) they did not require a tether to a surface support vessel which minimized current drag from the Gulf Stream, and 2) for real-time on-site observer capability which allowed NASA technical personnel to view debris directly as submersible occupants and, thus, expedited contact classification efforts. history.nasa.gov /rogersrep/v3appoe4.htm   (5870 words)
