FILES-US-SPACE SHUTTLE-ATLANTIS-LAUNCH
(FILES) In this 08 June 2007 file photo, The US space shuttle Atlantis lifts off at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A NASA-appointed panel looking into the mental health of astronauts following the arrest of Astronaut Lisa Nowak found that at least on two occassions astronauts were allowed to fly on space shuttle launches despite warnings that they were intoxicated and posed a flight risk. The findings were reported by Aviation Week & Space Technology, a publication that covers the space program, 26 July 2006. The panel, also reported "heavy use of alcohol" by astronauts before launch, within the standard 12-hour "bottle to throttle" rule applied to NASA flight crew members. An unmaed NASA source reportedly said the information in the report was based on anonymous interviews, passing on "barroom chat." AFP PHOTO/TIM SLOAN/FILES
