William Cameron "Willie" McCool (September 23, 1961 – February 1, 2003), (Cmdr, USN), was an American naval officer and aviator, test pilot, aeronautical engineer, and NASA astronaut, who was the pilot of Space Shuttle "Columbia" mission STS-107.
 He and the rest of the crew of STS-107 were killed when "Columbia" disintegrated during re-entry into the atmosphere.
 He was the youngest male member of the crew.
The "Columbia" Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) was convened by NASA to investigate the destruction of the Space Shuttle "Columbia" during STS-107 upon atmospheric re-entry on February 1, 2003.
 The panel determined that the accident was caused by foam insulation breaking off from the external fuel tank, forming debris which damaged the orbiter's wing; and that the problem of "debris shedding" was well known but considered "acceptable" by management.
 The panel also recommended changes that should be made to increase the safety of future shuttle flights.
 The CAIB released its final report on August 26, 2003.
Michael Phillip Anderson (December 25, 1959 – February 1, 2003) was a United States Air Force officer and NASA astronaut.
 Anderson and his six fellow crew members were killed in the Space Shuttle "Columbia" disaster when the craft disintegrated during its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
 Anderson served as the payload commander and lieutenant colonel in charge of science experiments on the Columbia.
 Anderson is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
Kalpana Chawla (March 17, 1962 – February 1, 2003) was an American astronaut and the first woman of Indian origin in space.
 She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator.
 In 2003, Chawla was one of the seven crew members who died in the Space Shuttle "Columbia" disaster when the craft disintegrated during its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
 Chawla is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
The R-bar pitch maneuver (RPM), popularly called the rendezvous pitch maneuver, was a maneuver performed by the space shuttle as it rendezvoused with the International Space Station (ISS) prior to docking.
 The shuttle performed a backflip that exposed its heat-shield to the crew of the ISS that made photographs of it.
 Based on the information gathered during the rendezvous pitch maneuver, the mission team could decide that the orbiter was not safe for re-entry.
 They may have then decided either to wait on the ISS for a rescue mission or attempt extra-vehicular activity to repair the heat shield and secure the safe re-entry of the orbiter.
 This was a standard procedure for all space shuttles docking to the International Space Station after a damaged heat shield caused the "Columbia" disaster.
STS-123 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) which was flown by Space Shuttle "Endeavour".
 STS-123 was the 1J/A ISS assembly mission.
 The original launch target date was 14 February 2008 but after the delay of STS-122, the shuttle was launched on 11 March 2008.
 It was the twenty-fifth shuttle mission to visit the ISS, and delivered the first module of the Japanese laboratory, Japanese Experiment Module (Kibō), and the Canadian Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator, (SPDM) "Dextre" robotics system to the station.
 The mission duration was 15 days and 18 hours, and it was the first mission to fully utilize the Station-to-Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS), allowing space station power to augment the shuttle power systems.
 The mission set a record for a shuttle's longest stay at the ISS.
Space Shuttle "Columbia" (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) was the first space-rated orbiter in NASA's Space Shuttle fleet.
 It launched for the first time on mission STS-1 on April 12, 1981, the first flight of the Space Shuttle program.
 Over 22 years of service it completed 27 missions before disintegrating during re-entry near the end of its 28th mission, STS-107 on February 1, 2003, resulting in the deaths of all seven crew members.
David McDowell Brown (April 16, 1956 – February 1, 2003) was a United States Navy captain and a NASA astronaut.
 He died on his first spaceflight, when the Space Shuttle "Columbia" (STS-107) disintegrated during orbital reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.
 Brown became an astronaut in 1996, but had not served on a space mission prior to the "Columbia" disaster.
 Brown is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
Linda Ham was the Constellation Program Transition Manager at NASA.
 She was formerly the program integration manager in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Shuttle Program Office.
 In this position, she chaired the mission management team for the 2003 Space Shuttle "Columbia" mission STS-107 that ended with the catastrophic destruction of "Columbia" upon its planned reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.
 As a NASA manager, Ham was a U.S. government (public) employee.
Donald Ray McMonagle (born May 14, 1952), (Col, USAF, Ret.)
, became the Manager, Launch Integration, at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on August 15, 1997.
 In this capacity he was responsible for final Shuttle preparation, launch execution, and return of the orbiter to KSC following landings at any location other than KSC.
 He was chair of the Mission Management Team, and was the final authority for launch decision.
 Former Astronaut and a veteran of three shuttle flights.

Question: Linda Ham chaired the mission management team for which shuttle that disintegrated during re-entry on February 1, 2003?
Answer: Space Shuttle "Columbia"
