Engineers used the OBSS to measure the exact depth and width of the gouge.

The game shipped with 15+ authentic missions, from STS-1 (Columbia’s maiden flight) to STS-115 (post-Columbia disaster return to flight). Each mission included accurate payloads, timelines, and orbital trajectories.

In 2007, NASA conducted three Space Shuttle missions— —each of which successfully navigated potential structural "cracks" and damage to return safely to Earth. These missions were pivotal for International Space Station (ISS) construction while operating under the heightened safety protocols established after the Columbia disaster.

On August 21, 2007, Endeavour glided to a flawless landing at Kennedy Space Center. Post-landing inspections confirmed the accuracy of NASA's engineering models. The damaged tile had charred, but it remained structurally sound and crack-free throughout the entire re-entry corridor, keeping the underlying aluminum skin perfectly protected.

The STS-118 mission was a 13-day mission that carried a crew of seven astronauts to the ISS. The crew, led by Commander J.T. O'Donnell, included pilot Charles Hobaugh and mission specialists Michael Binkley, Mark Fossum, Christopher Cassidy, Tara Parrish, and David Williams.
