High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Space Shuttle missions designated STS-3xx (officially called Launch On Need missions) are rescue missions which would be mounted to rescue the crew of a Space Shuttle if their vehicle was damaged and deemed unable to make a successful reentry. Such a mission would be flown if Mission Control determined that the heat shielding tiles and reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC) panels of a currently flying orbiter were damaged beyond the repair capabilities of the available on-orbit repair methods. These missions are also referred to as Launch on Demand (LOD) and Contingency Shuttle Crew Support.
