Challenger and the Columbia tragedies, organizational failures played a vital role. For the Challenger, there had been a teleconference between the engineers from Morton Thiokol (the company that designed the O-rings that cased the Challenger to explode), the Kennedy Space Center and the Marshall Space Flight Center. The engineers, who were low level, expressed their concerns for the safety of the crew as well as the Space Shuttle but were ignored. In the case of the Columbia tragedy, a large…

their lives when the space shuttle Columbia broke up as it returned to Earth. This was the second space shuttle disaster after the Challenger blew up during launch in 1986. Shuttle operations were interrupted by Challenger's demise. It wouldn't be until 1989 that Columbia flew again. But before that the Columbia flew once more in November 1983, carrying the Spacelab experiment module for the first time as well as the first European Space Agency astronaut. Columbia was then shelved for major…

the oxygen tank exploded was due to human error and flawed design and that modifications to the design were necessary. The changes came as follows: the fans inside the oxygen tank were removed, the probes to judge the amount of oxygen in the tank were changed from aluminum to stainless steel and the wiring to and from the oxygen tanks were changed from copper to stainless steel (Teitel). Then finally, an additional oxygen tank was installed on the opposite side of the module to prevent a total…

lift off the shuttle exploded killing all 7 members on board. After this day the Challenger’s nickname changed from NASA 's greatest triumphs to their darkest tragedy” (par 1). According to Howell “Another incident while on a space mission was the Columbia space shuttle of 2003. It broke apart while…

On January 28, 1986 a disaster that was never thought imaginable happened, during the launch of the space shuttle challenger there was a “malfunction”, one that would lead to the death of 7 brave crew member and leave the nation in fear. Ronald Reagan emotional speech addressing the space shuttle challenger tragedy calms the people of the nation and helps them understand that the best course of action is to move forwards and continue the space program in honor of the fallen heros. Reagan uses…

shuttle detonated and all seven astronauts on board were killed instantly. The debris from the explosion landed in three different states throughout the southern United States. The initial piece of foam that flew into the wing during the launch of Columbia could not have been avoided, or at least there was no known reason for how that could have happened. Yet when it came to putting an effort in rescuing or helping out the crew members of the space shuttle, NASA management deemed it unnecessary…

of the object. However, what happens if the engineer makes a mistake? Does it go unnoticed? Most likely not. Many engineering disasters have occurred over the course of recorded history. The Hindenburg, Space Shuttle Challenger, and Space Shuttle Columbia are examples of engineering disasters that resulted in catastrophe. The Hindenburg marked the end of the airship era. Many other airships went down prior to its destruction including the USS Akron and the British R 101 both which cost the same…

The space shuttle disaster is one of the most devastating catastrophes, which took place on 28th of January 1986. The explosion of the vehicle started when the shuttle had some problems with its O-ring, and it wasn’t functioning the way it should work. The victims of this tragedy are five NASA Astronauts, and two mission specialists. The problem existed when the solid rocket motor failed at boosting its engine because of the O-ring which is responsible of connecting the parts of the solid rocket…

Undoubtedly, one of the most tragic moments in history was the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. On January 28th, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after liftoff , killing all 7 of the crew members onboard. There were many theories about what could have caused the explosion to occur. One report claimed that there was a certain pattern with the smoke trail indicating that the shuttle ran into a jetstream. However, freezing temperatures hardened rubber o-rings on one…

The 1980’s was a big time for inventions. One of the big time games invented was Pacman. The Macintosh computer and the Air Jordan 1 was some other big time inventions in the 1980’s. At the time art was genuinely popular. Some of the greatest artists were Dash Snow, Aleah Chapin, and Richard T. Scott. On April 24,1980, the U.S. Government underwent a secret rescue to save hostages in Tehran. The U.S, however the Government failed to rescue the hostages. The hostages did not get released until…
