NASA is still looking for and accepting Space Shuttle Columbia debris found in East Texas.
Even though NASA and their contractors are no longer in the field searching, they are still accepting debris items from the Space Shuttle Columbia.
The public may contact the Columbia Recovery Office at Kennedy Space Center to report information that may help recover as much of Columbia as possible and aid others studying the Space Shuttle mishap.
Anyone who discovers debris from the accident or who has film or video evidence that may be of value to NASA is urged to use these contacts. Please avoid direct contact with any debris, because it may be hazardous as a result of toxic propellants aboard the Shuttle.
Telephone reports should be directed to the following number: (321) 861-5129
Reports and images can also be e-mailed to: michael.a.ciannilli@nasa.gov
All debris is U.S. Government property and it is critical that it be returned to NASA. Unauthorized persons found in possession of accident debris will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
