It’s not us: Odetics Inc., an Anaheim high-technology company, said Monday that it isn’t to blame for the malfunction of space tape-recording devices on the space shuttle Discovery.
The company issued a press release saying its seven recorders, which monitor and store data in space and transmit it back to Earth, are operating normally on board the Discovery.
A NASA spokeswoman said the malfunctioning recorders were made by Datatape Inc., an instruments manufacturer in Pasadena.
