NASA's performance specification did not include the known weather conditions that occur in Florida during the winter months. A new joint design was accepted without sufficient certification and testing. Failure to accept recommendations to redesign the clevis joint. Establishing the upper limit of erosion tolerated in flight on the basis of a “com...
The space shuttle’s SRB problem began with the faulty design of its joint and increased as both NASA and contractor management first failed to recognize it as a problem, then failed to fix it, and finally treated it as an acceptable flight risk*.
There were serious ongoing weaknesses in the shuttle Safety, Reliability, and Quality Assurance Program, which had failed to exercise control over the problem tracking systems, had not critiqued the engineering analysis advanced as an explanation of the SRM seal problem, and did not provide the independent perspective required by senior NASA manage...
We cannot become complacent. We cannot be silent when we see something we feel is unsafe. We must allow people to come forward with their concerns without fear of repercussion.
On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members aboard. The spacecraft disintegrated 46,000 feet (14 km) above the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 a.m. EST (16:39 UTC).
Challenger was brought down by eroded O-ring seals in the right solid rocket booster, Columbia by a chunk of foam insulation that broke off the fuel tank at liftoff and pierced the...
