I read where the 2 problems cost them 30 KM of altitude.

Didn't realize wind shear was a factor in these flights.

In shuttle flights, the shear is a major factor, not because of the wind speed, but because the engines are so strong, that when they correct for shear, they could over stress the vehicle.
