reform (CAIB, 2003, p. 181). After the accident, NASA introduction of new operational procedures, which included the preparation of an emergency mission for future launches, was, in retrospect, the most significant and crucial change induced by the disaster (CAIB, 2003, p. 173,…
Fifteen years ago on February 1, 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia Crashed. Columbia launched January 16, 2003. Around 82 seconds after Columbia had lifted-off a piece of foam had fallen from a “biopod ramp” which was a piece that helped support the external tank. With this piece fallen the department of defense prepared to use the orbital spy cameras to get a look at the left wing. However, NASA officials declined the offer. On the day of February 1,2003, Columbia was making a normal landing…

A little over ten years after the disaster of the Challenger, huge pieces of the Challenger shuttle washed up on a beach on the coast in California. NASA again regained its strength and launched the Discovery many years after the Challenger. Many design changes had been made to the Discovery to prevent another disaster from happening again. The back up teacher for Christa McAuliffe went up into space and had full training, so…

The NASA crew took a big risk when launching the Challenger during extreme temperatures. The astronauts were taking one of the biggest risk of their lives. This risk could have taken a positive or a negative affect. In this case it took a negative effect, lets see how. January 28,1986 the Challenger was ready for lift-off.
