As far as I know, there were problems with the heat protecting tiles of

space shuttle during the first flights. Tiles were lost and the heat

protection shield of the shuttle damaged. I am added to this mailing

only recently, so I don't know if this subject has already been discussed.

Since there was nothing to hear about this problem lately,

I suppose it has been solved. Can anybody tell me how ?
