Executive Summary

Because of the actions taken or planned by the SSP, the CAIB closed the recommendation in June 2005. Based on our review of the MMT training plan, our attendnce at the revised MMT training classes and simulations, and our observations of the MMT process during the first return to flight mission, we agree that NASA adequately addressed all MMT training issues raised by the CAIB.
