The
CHALLENGER
Disaster:
A NASA Tragedy
WHAT HAPPENED?
The commission’s report cited the cause of the disaster as a
failure of an “O-ring” seal in the solid-fuel rocket on the
Space Shuttle Challenger’s right side.
The officials at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) allowed the
shuttle launch to take place despite concerns voiced by NASA engineers.
The report also strongly criticized the decision making process that led to
the launch of Challenger, saying that it was seriously flawed.
