More remains found of
Challenger astronauts
CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla.
(AP) — Divers retrieved more
remains of Challenger’s
astronauts Wednesday as the
county medical examiner
reported that NASA had
prevented a legal dispute by
agreeing to let his staff observe
the autopsies.
The remains were recovered
by divers dropped overboard
from the salvage ship USS
Preserver in an area where the
shuttle cabin and crew remains
were located Friday 100 feet
beneath the Atlantic surface, 18
miles northeast of the launch
pad. sources close to the in
vestigation reported.
The sources reported the
Preserver recovery effort was
progressing well and that
among other items picked up
were a storage locker containing
personal effects of one of the
crew members, parts of the
flight deck and two spacesuits
that were aboard in case an
emergency space walk had to be
made.
A four-man search. sub-. .
marine, meanwhile, locabtd a
piece of solid rocket booster that
a Navy spokeswoman said
could be from the segment of •
the right booster believed
responsible for the shuttle
explosion.
The 4-fooi-by-5-foot piece of
debris from the rear part of a
rocket, weighing 400 to 500
pounds, is believed to contain
propellant and part of the exter
nal tank attachment ring, said
Lt. Cmdr. Deborah Burnette.
The remains of the astronauts
came into dispute when sources
said the medical examiner's of
fice might seek a court order
unless the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration and
Air Farce turned over the re
mains in accordance with state
law. The law requires the local
medical examiner to conduct an
autopsy on any person who is
slain or dies by accident.
The statutes apply even if
deaths occur on federal proper

Challenger accident, they occur
away from any. jurisdiction but
