The breakup of the Space Shuttle Columbia as it reentered Earth's atmosphere on February 1, 2003, reminded the public - and NASA - of the grave risks posed to spacecraft by everything from insulating foam to space debris. This title presents an account of environmental effects that can damage or cause poor performance of orbiting spacecraft.
