A Debris Ice Thermal Protection System (TPS) assessment and photographic analysis was conducted for Space Shuttle Mission STS-32R. Debris inspections of the flight elements and launch pad are performed before and after launch. Ice/frost conditions on the external tank are assessed by the use of computer programs, nomographs, and infrared scanner data during cryogenic loading of the vehicle followed by on-pad visual inspection. High speed photography is analyzed after launch to identify ice/debris sources and evaluate potential vehicle damage and/or in-flight anomalies. The debris/ice/TPS conditions and photographic analysis of Mission STS-32R, and their overall effect on the Space Shuttle program are documented.
