Worm Sightings Volume 36


7 June 1999:  Dan's Mad: SRTM (STS-99) has a worm on it.

Word has it that Dan Goldin was at KSC on Saturday and was furious upon spotting the worm on an upcoming payload, STS-99/Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The MLI on the canister that contains the boom has the logos and acronyms of all the agencies involved. Either a change order for the worm will be issued or you won't see many photos of the Shuttle's cargo bay during this mission.

29 June 1999: Update: Dan ordered the worm's removal. How much did this cost, Dan?
