Michelin logo on Shuttle tires
Some time ago there was a question as to whether the Shuttle tires
carry the manufacturer's name. http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/i...e/05pd2361.jpg clearly shows Michelin written on the side. **vp |

OK so he's only at ground level and on earth objects rarely fall upwards but every time I see any USA production or repair facility the dress code seems to be slapdash (i.e jeans and t shirt) and just perfect for loosing foreign objects into the depths of the airframe. In comparison facilities overseas and particularly in Europe appear *much* more strict. http://images.spaceref.com/news/2005/photo_09-05_05.jpg |

There's a lot of climbing and squeezing into tight spaces, all prime opportunities to slice your nice Dockers open on safety wire. But before going into the orbiter one must empty their pockets, remove or wrap their watch with tape, and remove or tape any jewelry. Glasses must be tethered, as are tools. A strict record of materials and tools taken into the orbiter is kept. The record is checked upon exit to be sure nothing was left inside. NASA knows that FOD kills and has taken appropriate measures to deal with it. A dress code is not necessary. |

Is that the method used to track tool locations / inventory? BTW, Kim, are you the one who used to have the awesome web site depicting various work on shuttle processing? If so I never had the chance to say what an incredible site that was. What a shame it was shut down. If that was you I certainly appreciate the work you put into it! Brian |

I thought they approved it at first? Or at least tolerated it? |
