In this photo provided by Kroll Ontrack Inc., a data drive that fell from the space shuttle Columbia when it was destroyed in 2003 is shown. During Columbia's fateful final mission, the drive had been used to capture data from a scientific experiment on the way xenon gas flows. (AP Photo/Kroll Ontrack Inc.)Data-recovery specialist Jon Edwards may have set a new standard: He found information on a melted disk drive that fell from the sky when space shuttle Columbia disintegrated in 2003.

    CERTIFICATE OF STAGE AT THE ITALIAN SPACE AGENCY
    Related to ASI training program – Italian Universities (CRUI).
    First announcement of the 24th October 2005.
     
     
                The five months stage (30th January– 30th June 2006) at the Italian Space Agency – Space Transportation Department (TRS) of the Engineer XXXXXX XXXXX had this subject: “Ground test problems and methodology for a oxygen-hydrocarbon engine and its components. Cryogenic propellants handling”.
     
                The activities carried out by the stagiest, whose tutor was Eng. Emanuela D’Aversa (TRS Department) and – since the first of April 2006 – Eng. Maria Flaminia Rossi (Head of TRS Department), are the following:
     
    1. Analysis of ground test methodologies for engines and their components;
    2. Typical phases of a test ground facility realization;
    3. Analysis of an engine firing ground test campaign;
    4. Preliminary design of a ground test facility in order to test an upper stage engine in vacuum;
    5. ASI procedure and methodology to define and manage technological development’s projects/contract in this field.
     
    At the end of the stage the following documents were issued by the stagiest:
     
    - “FAST2- Propulsion Report: Future Advanced Space Transportation Technologies” In two parts: in the first one there is the description of the programme’s aims, the architecture and the working of the test facility; in the second one the firing tests description and analysis;
    - Calculations of flows and filling time in the final part of the propellant feeding lines in the FAST2 facility.
    - “HyPROB Report: Hydrocarbon-based propulsion test-bench”, written in English, in which there is the description of the test bench’s general scopes and of its main subsystems;
    - “HyPROB, preliminary design consolidation and detailed design” in which is proposed a possible way to realise the detailed design and are brought out the critical aspect of this design.
     
                By means of this certificate, is testified that Eng. XXXXXXX  XXXXX carried out with regularity the expected stage activities, showing excellent organization ability and excellent ability in directing the activities towards the given work, which she carried out carefully, with participation and interest, achieving results of great value that will be a substantial contribution for ASI in this specific research field.
