Essay on The Space Shuttle Challenger Tragedy

January 28, 1968, the Challenger's Space Shuttle was deployed from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A minute and 13 seconds after the launch, the spacecraft ignited in the air, and all seven crew members died. The reason why the challenger was destroyed is that certain parts of the rubber have relieved the pressure on the actual rocket booster side called O ring. When the space shuttle used as a challenger is about to be used for another mission, you need to check everything carefully before taking off. This can avoid the challenger, and there is too much evidence that NASA understands to some extent the outcome.

That was when NASA came up with a space shuttle. A lightweight, reusable car that greatly saves company costs and time

Severe weather played a major role in the mission of the challenger and the success of the launch. The prediction of the launch date is 31 ° F (-1 ° C), which is an absolute minimum temperature that is acceptable for safety. Morton Thiokol is a contractor manufacturing SRB ship (robust rocket booster) due to weather considerations. Many engineers expressed their concern about the weather and did not really believe takeoff is safe. Roger Boisjoly is one of the engineers who expressed the greatest concern about ships, but more specifically about rubber O-rings. He believes that the temperature of the weather first hardens the rubber and as it warms again, the result is that it disappears from all pressures.

The challenger carried out nine duties before the last mission. This may play an important role in the issue after release. Since being built on February 10, 1978, the Space Shuttle is older and exhausted than any previous Space Shuttle. The fact that it completed nine tasks before the last mission affected it as it was not new and part was already under pressure. I did not say that they did not fix it, it just had some parts from the time it was used and was used as a flying part

The challenger sent the first American woman, African-American, Dutch and Canadian to space; did three space laboratory tasks and did the first night-time launch of the Space Shuttle and a night landing. The challenger was also the first Space Shuttle destroyed in the accident during the mission. The wreckage of the recovered vessel is now buried in the retired missile silo of 31 Cape Canberra Air Force Base Launch Center. The fuselage section at the Space Shuttle Challenger is also located in the "Forever Remembered" Memorial in the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center in Florida. More debris from the Orbiter is sometimes washed from the coast of Florida. When this occurs, they are collected and brought to the silo for storage. Due to the initial loss, Challenger has never worn the NASA "Meatball" logo, it is the only space shuttle that has never been changed in MEDS's "Glass Cockpit".

Unfortunately, the development of the Space Shuttle has not been successful. On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just after launch and seven astronauts boarded. The greatest tragedy in the history of mankind's space flight shocked the whole world. After the accident, the United States upgraded the remaining three space shuttles. In spite of many technical and operational upgrades, another catastrophic space shuttle accident occurred. On February 1, 2003, the Columbia Space Shuttle exploded 16 minutes before the landing and all seven astronauts died. The accident was obviously caused by a mass of foam hitting the wing of the Space Shuttle during takeoff, which was caused by the broken insulation tile. When the aircraft reenters the earth's atmosphere, heat will enter the aircraft due to the damage of the wing and explode. After the tragedy, the US canceled all space shuttle missions until August 2004.
