\nIEE 1020: Justification Memo on the Columbla Due on February 9th
\nStep 1: Read the Sample on back; read these instructions and do some research
\nYour memo should follow the sample\u2019s format in general, but your version will be longer.
\nAlso, retrieve some more information on the cause of the Columbia {STS-107} disaster. To do this i
\nyou may use NASA\u2019s web site, the final report on the disaster accessed at
\nhttp:\/\/caib.nasa.gov\/news\/report\/volume1\/chapters.html
\nWhen visiting this page, click on \/downloag chapter six in the Table of Contents. Section 6.3 might be
\nespeCIally 1n51ghtful. PM In P\u201c a a\u201c. 0&9\u2018\u201c
\nThe purpose of the memo and background of the problem will be your lSt paragraph. I don\u2019t want you to merely
\nreiterate what my PowerPoint notes have, so paraphrase from the CAIB report, maybe in a more thorough way
\nthan I could cover in class.
\nStep 2: Beginning to write
\nMeet with some others in class on Thursday, and go through the Q and A slide together.
\nThe answers to these questions will create the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of your memo-the
\nrecommendation and support for the recommendation, which is essentially an action plan.
\nIf you are going to try to save them, your 3rd paragraph will describe how to save them. Use a transition
\nsentence and a list of the major tasks required for a rescue mission. Feel free to be creative with this, but consider
\nthe feasibility of the tasks you suggest. Also, mention when and how to notify the astronauts, their families, and the
\npublic. In your memo, this list will be the way that you will expand on the recommendation.
\nIf you would like suggestions for repairing the damage, search online for info on the \u201cDiscovery {STS-114} 2005
\nMission\u201d and look at information about in-flight repairs. Also, search for the \u201cSTS-3OO contingency plan.\u201d
\nIf you choose not to save them, the 3rd paragraph of the memo must explain why not. Also, this paragraph must
\nelaborate on how you will notify the astronauts, their families, and the public about the situation. So this choice
\nwill still require a list\/ action plan for saving face. (You have to face the ethical dilemma.)
\nEither decision that you make will lead you into a discussion about costs or benefits. Make a list of reasons why the
\nbenefits outweigh the philosophical costs or vice versa. This will be paragraph 4 of your memo.
\nStep 3: Conclude, proofread , polish, and complete the memo by February 9th.
\nabiE\u00e9Ejz\u2018Fz\u2019EirZrz:
\nParagraph 1 Introduces purpose and discusses the problem.
\nParagraph 2 Recommends your overall recommendation.
\nParagraph 3 If you\u2019re saving the astronauts, this may be a transition sentence that introduces a list. The list will
\nexpand upon your recommendation, providing clear steps to achieve your desired outcome.
\nIf you will not be saving the astronauts, paragraph three must mention why not, and it must also elaborate
\non how you intend you resolve the ethical dilemma of notifying the astronauts, their families, and the
\nAmerican public.
\nParagraph 4 Discusses the philosophical costs or benefits of a rescue mission in list form.
\nParagraph 5 Provides a conclusion that encourages acceptance of your recommendation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
