The most severe damage was in the area of the Motor Controller, and it was thought to be the most likely source of the fire. The report describes the tests and analyses conducted to determine possible cause(s) of the fire. In addition, tests were made to determine possible cause(s) of the Motor Controller bolt erosion.
