Kroll Ontrack Decifers Space Shuttle Columbia Hard Drive
Here's a fascinating piece on some fine and admirable work from Kroll Ontrack - salvaging the scientific data on a hard drive recovered from the wreckage of the Space Shuttle Columbia.

The Columbia broke apart during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere on February 1, 2003. Of the seven crew members there, sadly, were no survivors. A hard thing...

Ontrack was able to preserve much of the contents including data on a test of how xenon gas flows in a zero gravity environment.

Pretty darn impressive for a hard drive that literally fell out of the sky...
