Last week, the Internet was buzzing with news some research had
been published based on
data that was recovered from a hard disc on the Columbia space
shuttle which
exploded in 2003, killing its seven crew.
Data recovery specialist Kroll Ontrack recovered data from the
mission stored on a 400 Mbyte hard disc that fell to earth. The
data on the disc was the result of 370 hours of experiments that
cost the US government millions of dollars.
In this podcast Cliff Saran interviews Jeff Pederson, manager of
data recovery operations at Kroll Ontrack about the task of
rescuing the data from the experiments.
