Most interesting -- thanks!

A week later, at a routine shuttle/Mir press conference, Frank Culbertson
was asked whether Progress could have hit something else, other than just
Spektr: "Well, that was pretty clear shortly after the accident when we
first saw the video together," he admitted immediately. "I think everybody
could see that there potentially were places where it had some type of
contact that slowed down the rotation. The Russians also announced shortly
afterwards that they suspected it might be the case." The video he was
referring to, taken from a camera on the approaching supply ship, was not
available to the public. According to NASA spokesman Rob Navias, it had been
impounded "pending completion of the accident investigation" and I wasn't
allowed to see it.


Was this ever (eventually) released, assuming the investigation has now
long since been completed, considering Mir is now in pieces on Earth?

Just curious - would have been interesting to see and appreciate firsthand
the source of the grave concerns mentioned in the interesting article
written on it.
