Editor’s note: The following was provided to me by NASA JSC PAO:

Statement to the Press by Charles Camarda:

“I support the engineering position as expressed at the FRR. I was reassigned by Mr. Mike Coats because we did not see eye to eye on management style.

I have been reassigned to the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) and have been assured I will be participating in the upcoming flight as part of the Mission Management Team.

I look forward to working toward the successful completion of STS-121.”
