not get released until 270 days after the U.S.Government had left. On June 18, 1983, Sally Ride became known as the first woman to launch into space. One year later, Sally decided to focus more on her training instead of going into space. The next challenger mission that was…

Eyimofe Blessing-Kayode 001248133 O-Rings and the Challenger Disaster Introduction Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that deals with the construction, designing and manipulation of machines. In this profession, precision is key and it is often compulsory for every detail to be flawless. In negligence of these precisions fatal and tremendous disasters can occur. An ideal illustration of this is the explosion of the ‘Challenger spacecraft’ in 1986, a few minutes after take-off…

When Columbia re-entered the atmosphere and exploded, killing the seven astronauts on board it was a horrible tragedy. It exploded do to a large piece of foam falling from the shuttle's external tank and fatally damaging the wing of the spacecraft. The hole on the left wing allowed gases from the atmosphere to pour into the shuttle as it began to re-enter the the Earth's atmosphere,eventually leading to loss of the spacecraft. While investigating for two years following the accident, space…

The initial investigation that surfaced from the Challenger should have been a learning opportunity which would have avoided Columbia’s fatal crash. Project planning should have included redesign of management roles where new management may link their decisions based on data and eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy…

On Wednesday, November 30th, Richard Hagar discussed his time as an engineer for the NASA Apollo projects. During NASA’S heyday, Mr. Hagar moved to Florida to work at the Kennedy Space center. As a spacecraft operator, he had an important role in developing, repairing, and modifying each of the Apollo missions. Throughout his endeavors, Mr. Hagar has seen Apollo 1’s failure, helped NASA problem solve through issues,, and helped rescue the astronauts on the Apollo 13 mission. Though the highly…

The STS-51-L was a shuttle by NASA that exploded 73 seconds after lift off and killed 7 American astronauts. It takes NASA 1.5 billion dollars to launch a rocket. Therefore, in 73 seconds NASA wasted 1.5 billion dollars and cost us 7 precious lives. Between the years of 1964 and 1999 there have been twenty launches. Within those twenty launches six were failed missions, which in turn lost the U.S $9 Billion. NASA in the future would like to spend about 500 million dollars on each shuttle they…

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…

heartbreaking tragic event of the Space Shuttle Challenger. The explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger took the lives of beloved people; Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and school teacher Sharon Christa McAuliffe. This event of the take-off was viewed by many Americans, including school children. President Ronald Reagan delivered a comforting and honoring speech, the “Shuttle Challenger Disaster Address.” In this speech, Reagan not…

someone who’s not a professional and it happened to be that mission that got lost- it added to the shock.” said Chiao, a former astronaut. The shuttle Challenger had gone into space nine times before this mission. All nine of those missions had launched and landed properly without any trouble, so they were not expecting this shock. The Challenger shuttle played a big role in President Reagan's Teacher in Space program. The shuttle was going to take a teacher named Christa McAuliffe into space.…
