failures that led the disastrous events on the 28th of January‚ 1986 were inexcusable. The reason the Challenger Space Shuttle blew up 73 seconds after launch was the result of a faulty sealing system which allowed exhaust flames from the Solid-Fuel Rocket Boosters (SRB) to vent directly on the external tank‚ rupturing the tank and causing the explosion. There was excessive erosion on the O-ring in the booster field joints. The launch had also taken place in untested temperature conditions and in

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]”
