the right to plant their flag on the surface of the moon. The lunar space race gave birth to national aerospace organizations, such as NASA, and inspired dreamers all over the globe for generations. NASA and other aerospace organizations have continued to conduct space bound research but financial budget cuts, growing safety concerns and dwindling support has made space exploration

Timeline of events and causes of the Challenger Space shuttle accident In 28 January 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger was launched for the Last time and exploded less than 2 minutes after the lift-off resulting in the deaths of all seven crew members on board (Space shuttle challenger: Wikipedia, 2006). The failure of the solid rocket booster o-rings was attributed to several factors, including faulty design of the solid rocket boosters, insufficient low temperature testing of the O-ring

material. Where as we know the space building or keep up is exceptionally extravagant that may even influence you budgetary and misfortune the nature of the result. Introduction Columbia Space shuttle disaster Columbia was the first space shuttle orbiter to fly in space on April 12, 1981. Between April 1981 and March 2002, Columbia has achieved 27 successful missions. And it was in second place in behind the quality of space flights by an orbiter in 2003.The Columbia’s 28th space mission named as STS-107

Columbia Space Shuttle, 7 NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) astronauts were disintegrated above Texas. On February 01, 2003, the mission, STS-107 was nearly complete. The Columbia Space Shuttle crew of Rick Douglas Husband, William “Willie” Cameron McCool, Michael P. Anderson, Ilan Ramon, David McDowell Brown, Kalpana “KC” Chawla, and Laurel Blair Salton Clark were in the midst of a routine landing and completion of their mission at the Kennedy Space Center. The shuttle and it’s

Spaceships transport humans from Earth to space and then back to Earth in the space shuttle program. In order for a space shuttle to be lifted from Earth, a lot of force is needed. That is because lift force is having to act against the force of gravity which pulls down on the shuttle. The force is produced by fuel, so it takes a great deal of fuel. Bringing the space shuttle back down to Earth requires much less fuel. When a space shuttle mission is completed, astronauts use the force of gravity

The Challenger Space Shuttle launched on January 28, 1986, but sadly never reached the atmosphere of space. (History.com) The Challenger’s sections disassembled 73 seconds after liftoff. (History.com) The Challenger disaster killed six astronauts as well as a teacher. Christa McAuliffe was a teacher from New Hampshire who was awarded the honor of going on the the spacecraft’s 10th mission to teach lessons in space for students around the world. (History.com) It was determined later on that the

including the Disaster of Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003, the Japanese asset bubble in late 1980s and the explosion of Deepwater Horizon in 2010. The research draws upon final reports of NASA, related magazines and published books. Looking through the lenses of those catastrophes, the analysis reveals the tremendous loss and effect of system failures and gives a lesson to avoid similar disasters in the future. Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster On February 1st, 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed

One of the greatest tragedies in history occurred on January 8, 1986. Shortly after it was launched, the space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing seven astronauts, including Christa McAuliffe, a New Hampshire schoolteacher chosen to be the first teacher in space (“Challenger Disaster, n.d.). The explosion was caused by a failure of the O-rings of the solid rocket boosters. The O-rings were unable to seat properly, causing the leaking of hot combustion gases, which burnt through the external fuel

The NASA Space Shuttle Orbiter: Challenger - Engineering Disaster On January 28, 1986, NASA Space Shuttle Orbiter: Challenger launched from the Kennedy Space Center, only to break apart 73 seconds into its flight. Challenger carried five NASA astronauts as well as two payload specialists. Its destruction was widely recognized as one of the worst disasters in the US space programs history. The Challenger shuttle disaster wasn't a freak accident. There were many factors which resulted in the ultimate

potentially damaging it on its way into space. When Columbia was attempting to reenter, abnormal readings from the left wing appeared. They could not get a temperature gauge on the left wing, and shortly after the temperature disappeared so did the tire pressure readings. It was discovered later on that a hole formed from the foam strike upon entry into space, so when the Columbia was later trying to return, the hole allowed atmospheric gases to seep into the shuttle. These gases essentially overheated
