The speedbrakes oscillated and forced Columbia to stop by inches
In this episode, we follow the final minutes of STS-3’s landing at White Sands where the shuttle’s systems, the incomplete autoland software, and the crew’s split roles collide. What choices and improvisations did Jack Lousma and Gordon Fullerton make as the approach became the only shot at bringing Columbia safely to a stop?
Person: Jack Lousma
Person: Gordon Fullerton
Event: Landing at White Sands
Date: March 30, 1982
Topic: Autoland system limitations
- The autoland software was aboard Columbia to collect data but was not capable of an autonomous safe stop.
- Kennedy Space Center was ruled out because the runway was wet; Edwards exceeded wind limits, leaving White Sands as the sole option.
- At 46 meters altitude the landing gear deployed with Columbia traveling 509 km/h, turning the approach into a high-energy final.
- The crew’s division of duties-Lousma managing energy from the left seat, Fullerton calling the runway from the right-shaped real-time responses.
- White Sands’ gypsum dust penetrated tiles and cavities, creating an unexpected physical and technical complication during and after landing.
