NASA buries shuttle debris
United Press International
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA workers lowered giant concrete caps onto the abandoned missile silos yesterday where Challenger's twisted wreckage was buried, ending a tragic chapter in the shuttle saga.
"It's good to put this behind us," said Air Force Col. Edward O'Connor, who orchestrated NASA's sail
vage operation.
Hugh Harris, a National Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman, said all but a few pieces of the spaceship were in place at the old Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile complexes and that work crews planned to seal up the refurbished silos by late yesterday or early today.
The final hours of the storage project were low key and NASA
officials said they were not aware of any plans for a plaque or other sign that would denote where the shuttle was buried.
A few pieces of the space shuttle,
however, have not yet been buried.
Parts of the right-side booster that ruptured in the accident, for example, will be studied by engineers from Morton Thiokol Inc., a rocket maker, for as long as a year before being returned to Cape Canavaler.
