too little for public services‚ including space-flight programs. In early 1970‚ NASA initiated extensive engineering‚ design‚ and cost studies of a space shuttle. These studies covered a wide variety of concepts ranging from a fully reusable manned booster and orbiter to dual strap-on solid propellant rocket motors and an expendable liquid propellant tank. Each concept evaluated development risks and costs in relation to the suitability and the overall economics of the entire system. On January 5

The space shuttle was propelled by the two attached Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) and an external fuel tank. The SRBs were joined to the External Tank. aOnce the SRBs ignited‚ hot gases heated the rubber O rings and they eroded to seal the joints. SRB joint design had a serious flaw in it and the engineers knew it meant

its seven crew members. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean‚ off the coast of central Florida‚ United States‚ at 11:39 a.m. EST (16:39 UTC). Disintegration of the entire vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The O-ring failure caused a breach in the SRB joint it sealed‚ allowing pressurized hot gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB attachment hardware and external fuel tank

The Challenger Disaster By: Kathy Neuner & Jeremy Rider Executive Summary Many factors must be examined to find the underlying reason for the horrible disaster of the space shuttle Challenger. We will cover both the technical causes to the disaster and the communication breakdown with NASA. We will also look at the outside pressure that NASA was receiving from the media‚ congress and the military. Recommendations for NASA and anyone in the communication field will be given.

When the challenger was launched the O-ring failed to keep all the gases inside the engine‚ the gases started to scape‚ when the leakage permitted enough gases to escape the fire that the rocket booster has normal from ignition was what made the explosion. The fire of the rocket booster finds its way inside to the engine and made the fuel ignite. They did not have the chance to even know that something was wrong‚ the rocket exploded.

e solid rocket booster problem was rooted in a design flaw that NASA and their contractor‚ Morton Thiokol‚ failed to address. The engineers at Morton Thiokol expressed concerns about the launch‚ as the predicted low temperatures would affect the O-Ring’s ability to seal properly. However‚ due to NASA’s ambitious launch schedule‚ the program managers were appalled at the thought of delaying the launch. One manager from NASA remarked‚ “My God‚ Thiokol‚ when do you want me to launch‚ next April? [1]”

The causes and effects of the Challenger and Columbia disasters It was the day in the history of America wherein the people had a great expectation of a mission that would take a civilian for the first time into the space by launched the Challenger‚ in 1986‚ but something unexpected happened when the shuttle explored shortly after liftoff and claiming the lives of all crew members onboard. That was not the only exploration of the American history‚ another similar disaster was the exploration
