Introduction The challenger disaster that took place in January 28 has led to the explosion of the shuttle itself and the death of all the crew members including the chosen teacher. A real disaster that occurred due to some wrong decisions and overriding some important information from professional employees within the company is considered a real catastrophe. Applying pressure on senior management team of the company that has developed the rocket in order to change their opinion about launching

2.0 INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Organisations nowadays face various external and internal risks such as strategic risks, operational risks, financial risk and environmental risks. Managers tend to focus on those risks with greater uncertainty like natural disasters. However, some risks also bring destructive outcome even they are predictable and controllable. The inherent risks in the management and control system are among those on the list. Because they are "built-in" risks of management and control

Ronald Reagan Challenger Disaster Address to the Nation After the seven astronauts, engineers, and Christa McAuliffe, a history teacher selected to be part of the mission, were killed in the terrible shuttle Challenger explosion, Ronald Reagan had the unbelievable job of explaining it to the country. Millions across the country were watching as the shuttle caught in flames and then exploded only 73 seconds after lift off. It was later determined that two rubber O-rings, designed to separate the

Through comprehensive analysis, we identified the root cause of the explosion of Challenger space shuttle. We referred www.nasa.gov and many other websites to learn more about the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster and gather domain knowledge. We referred the NASA report “http://history.nasa.gov/rogersrep/genindex.htm” to go in depth of the Space Shuttle concept and development phases. All the issues with the project can be categorized into two problem groups. Mechanical and administrative problems

Apollo 1 was a big disaster for NASA, and tragic for their mission of going to space. Many things could have been prevented from the accident ever occurring, and no one would have died. The disaster of Apollo 1 was the first accident for NASA, because of them not looking at each equipment Apollo 1 was NASA first attempt at going to space. Three astronauts were set to take place. Apollo 1 was set to take off in December 1966, but that never happened(history nasa gov). 15 minutes before the spaceship

In 1984 Ronald Reagan introduced the Teacher in Space Program. This program was designed to give normal civilians the opportunity to go into space. The first participant of the program was Christa McAuliffe. She, along with six other astronauts, were scheduled to ride the shuttle orbiter Challenger into space on January 28, 1986. Tragically, they never made it. Seventy-three seconds after liftoff the space shuttle disintegrated, killing everyone on board. Ronald Reagan commissioned a panel known

Explosive Launch Observational Deployment Experiment (Exp.L.O.D.E.) was the name provided to the maiden rocket produced by the Navy. This experiment was to delve into the option of utilizing their surplus of military ordinance rockets for observational crafts that would be launched from a vessel and provide long range scouting for the ship below. The "rocket" was little more than a short range missile with it's payload hollowed out and replaced with a seat, a radio, a map, binoculars and an emergency

According to Popular Science, Malcolm Scott Carpenter messed up while trying to bring his capsule back to Earth. His mistakes almost killed him, and he ended up crashing the capsule several hundred miles away from his landing site. His ignorance, and the feeling that he knows exactly what he's doing and that he needs no one else to do it, is something I can relate to. Another thing I can relate to is his mistakes when he ignores the advice, and the harsh consequences that may come with such a mistake

about 30 seconds he fixed it. Then in loud words the machine said simulation over and everything was dark. A door opened and my coach said we need to get out of here. So me and my competitors went with me. My coach called my name and I was front and center. He briefed me on what was happen it turns out that there were terrorists bombing the stadium. He grabbed me and me alone. We left my competitors there last time I remember seeing anyone from

When the space shuttle Challenger took off on January 28, 1986, an internal rocket ship part called an O-ring malfunctioned because it became too cold in the winter air. As a result, super-hot gases passed the O-ring and burned a hole in the side of the space shuttle's external tank. Once the outer container became compromised, the solid rocket boosters caused a massive explosion. All seven crew members died. Another tragedy occurred on April 16, 2007, at the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute
