The inaugural flight of Spacehab's research double module, which launched January 2003 on [[STS-107]], ended when the [[Space Shuttle Columbia]] broke up during re-entry.

In January 2004, Spacehab filed a formal claim against NASA for the amount of $87.7 million for the loss caused by the Columbia accident and in October 2004 NASA paid the company $8.2 million.<ref>Two Spacehab press releases from January 2004 and 2005 regarding the claims filed against [[NASA]] for [[STS-107]] [http://www.spacehab.com/news/2004/04_01_20.htm][http://www.spacehab.com/news/2005/05_01_05.htm]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2004-01-20 |title=$87.7 million claim filed over Columbia loss |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna4008520 |access-date=2024-09-22 |website=NBC News |language=en}}</ref> In February 2007, Spacehab dropped all litigation against NASA.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2009-02-02 |title=Firm Seeks $8 Million For Experiment That Survived Columbia Accident |url=https://www.space.com/5947-firm-seeks-8-million-experiment-survived-columbia-accident.html |access-date=2024-09-22 |website=Space.com |language=en}}</ref>
