Columbia STS-107: A Definitive Forensic Analysis of the Al-Mahaqari Critical Current, the Canepa CIV–NO–Aluminum Interaction, the Canepa Global Electric Circuit Contribution, and the Resolution of the Three Unexplained Phenomena

A definitive quantitative forensic analysis of the Space Shuttle Columbia STS-107 disaster, grounded in the Al-Mahaqari Plasmagnetic Critical Current Engine (APCCE) framework. Demonstrates that three phenomena unexplained by the CAIB report—internal-out aluminum melting, an orange-purple electrical discharge, and simultaneous multi-sensor failure—are natural consequences of the CIV-induced Al-Mahaqari Critical Current (116 kA, 22.6 kW, 43 s melting time) and the Canepa Global Electric Circuit contribution (2.5–250 kW). All mechanisms are quantitatively validated against flight telemetry and CAIB documentation.
