This Group is open to the Public for discussions related to the Shuttle Columbia STS-107 Re-entry Disaster, and how to best assist NASA in locating the debris from this disaster. Located debris should be immediately reported by calling the FEMA toll-free HotLine:
1-(866)-446-6603
[Since the formal search was completed in April 2003, the Columbia Recovery Office at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) has been established to continue accepting calls about debris. The number to call is still the above number.]

NOTE: Please be advised - the intention of this Group is to ONLY assist in the locating - NOT the RETRIEVAL - of Shuttle debris. Federal law PROHIBITS the retrieval and possession of debris from the Shuttle Columbia reentry disaster.

[This Group also seconds as a Meteorite-Recovery discussion list, since there exists the possibility that meteorites could be found during the effort of locating Shuttle debris. This Group has the expertise to identify meteorites, since most of the invited members are also current members of a Meteorite-Recovery Team.]
