NASA released to the public five additional volumes of the CAIB's report. The new volumes~including reports that NASA and other organizations had written; working documents the CAIB had produced; and findings or suggestions that the CAIB had, ultimately, not adopted~provided the full context of the technical reports and background information that the Board had used as the basis for its official 29 findings. The CAIB stated that conclusions and recommendations found in the new volumes did not necessarily reflect the Board's official views; therefore, the Board emphasized that the first volume, containing its official findings and recommendations, should always take precedence over the other volumes in the event of a conflict in findings.
