As a scientist myself, I've got access to the full text of the article, and I must say, it made me angry. The researchers didn't even mention the fact that the crew died to get their data. All they said is "Thanks to the crew of STS-107". Yeah guys, 7 people just DIED to get you that data... maybe you could be a little more thankful in the acknowledgements? As a field biologist, I often brave injury to collect data, and I'd sure as HELL be dedicating the work to anyone who even HURT themselves getting it.
