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 ? --- Ralf Eberhardt
