The Columbia shuttle disaster investigation has put back the
release of its final report because of delays in drawing up
the conclusions, the top inquiry official said Friday.
The report by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board was
to have been sent to Congress before the end of July.
But the board chairman, Admiral Harold Gehman, said the
document "sometime in August, middle or third week."
"It's more important that we get it right than we get
it quick," Gehman told a Washington press conference.
The report is to set out the sequence of events between
takeoff and the disaster as Columbia re-entered the Earth's
atmosphere, before its landing at Cape Canaveral base in Florida.
It is expected to recommend technical and organisation changes
but no date for a resumption of shuttle flights.
