Don't they always lose contact during re-entry for a couple of minutes? This seems like a long time though.

That time expired several minutes ago, Flight controllers being told to follow contingency procedures. AOS acquisition of signal should have already been received. Shuttle should have landed 2.5 minutes ago. NO C-Band tracking data has been received...all operators are now saving all data and log books...

I was watching when the Challenger crashed. All I can think is please God, not another accident.

Declaring 'continuancy', all data to be preserved. Only 190 miles away when lost!

Flight Director Leroy Cane(sp?)...directing all controllers to save data. Last contact at 0800, 27000feet, 1200mph...Flight Dynamics officer reporting NO OBJECTS were tracked...
Does this mean no debris found?
