  Rogers Commission Report - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rogers Commission Report was created by a Presidential Commission charged to investigate the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster on its 10th mission, STS-51-L.
Other key findings of the Rogers Commission were that the Shuttle had not been rated to fly in the temperatures of the launch but that that technical concern had been overridden by NASA management after a series of launch delays.
The SRB O-rings had been found to be unexpectedly eroded in previous inspections, but that that finding had been largely ignored or minimized.

 Martin Rogers
After Rogers' sponsor withdrew his sponsorship in June 1999, Rogers traded without a sponsor for approximately eight months, thus violating the terms of the NFA Order, which pursuant to Section 17(o)(2) of the Act, is considered to be a Commission order.
Rogers' second sponsor executed a Supplemental Sponsor Certification Statement ("SSCS") on April 16, 1999, which set forth specific responsibilities he agreed to undertake in his supervision of Rogers and whose terms were identical to those in the SSCS executed by his first sponsor.
Rogers must ensure that at all times during his conditional registration, he is being sponsored by a registered employing floor broker or if Rogers is not so employed, by a registered floor broker.

Rogers which stated if Nevada bought water from Colorado, which was part of Colorado's entitlement, and let the water flow in the river without encumbrance, it would be "wheeling." She also stated any water used by the Federal Government or any other source would come off Nevada's allocation of 300 thousand acre feet.
Rogers said California was using 5.8 million acre feet of water and had agreed to reduce their usage to 4.4 million acre feet.
Rogers said the CRC would like to be proactive and take seriously the mandate given to protect and hold in trust the waters and power of the Colorado River and tributaries.

 CBS News Space Place - STS-121 Status Report
The commission said two overall failure scenarios were possible: a small leak could have developed at ignition that slowly grew to the point that flame erupted through the joint as photographs indicated some 58 seconds after blastoff.
The Rogers Commission concluded that a "well structured" management system with the emphasis on flight safety would have elevated the booster O-ring issue to the status it deserved and that NASA's decision-making process was clearly faulty.
The Rogers Commission found that astronaut training time was being cut back, that frequent and late payload changes disrupted flight planning and that a lack of spare parts was beginning to manifest itself in flight impacts at the time of the Challenger accident.

 Biennial Report - FY 1999-1999
Rogers became a Commission member of the agency in November 1998 after the U.S. Senate confirmed her nomination by President Clinton to a term expiring on April 27, 2003.
The Commission therefore remanded the case to the ALJ to consider the merits of the allegations and proposed penalties.
During FY 1999, when the Commission achieved a quorum for nearly nine months, 43 cases were disposed of at the Commissioners level; 42 percent of these dispositions occurred during the last three months of the fiscal year.

 Rogers' U.S. Debut
Rogers' concept of the flexible "well-serviced shed," as Reyner Banham has called it, seems ideally suited to just this type of client whose spatial and mechanical requirements are entirely unpredictable.
Given their reputation as "high profile" (read expensive) architects, Rogers and his associates are understandably anxious to emphasize this aspect of PA Technology as proof that high tech can be competitive even by American standards.
Although Rogers did devise his own site plan (left) using the PA Technology parti as the basic building module, the site's developer has opted for a more conventional plan and the second building, now rising, is an utterly ordinary glass-walled box.

Nevertheless, the Report and Order ruled that Rogers' reliance on Barry Skidelsky was misplaced because that case involved a request for waiver of Section 73.315 of the Rules at the application stage and the Commission has required 100 percent city grade coverage at the allotment stage.
Second, we observe that the Commission's rationale for not permitting the petitioner in a rulemaking proceeding for an allotment for a new station to use terrain enhancement to demonstrate coverage of the city of license is the lack of certainty as to the eventual transmitter site location.
At the time Rogers filed his petition for reconsideration, Section 1.420(f) of the Commission's Rules stated that the filing of a petition for reconsideration of an order modifying an authorization to specify operation on a different channel automatically stayed the effect of a change in the rules pending action on the petition.

 Rogers stands by 'circus' comment - on 9/11 Commission
The two (Rogers and Nadler) were discussing recent terror warnings and the Sept. 11 commission, when Rogers said the commission's efforts to continue lobbying for its recommendations were a "traveling circus."
On Monday, Rogers said he was referring to the political nature of the debate over the commission's report - which has been published as a book - and the panel members' attempts to extend the commission's life another 18 months.
Rogers said the main point behind of his "traveling circus" comment was that the debate over national security and terrorism has become too political.

 The Rogers Commission failed; questions it never asked, answers it didn't listen to - Challenger accident Washington ...
While the Rogers Commission final report does mention the August 19, 1985 meeting at headquarters on the subject of O-rings, it doesn't mention that, according to testimony in July hearings before the House Science and Technology Committee, Moore's deputy, Michael Weeks, chaired this meeting and that Moore was briefed soon afterwards.
When questioned by the Rogers Commission on February 10 about his knowledge of the O-ring problems, Jesse Moore conceded that he knew earlier flights had shown O-ring erosion, but said he didn't think it was a safety of flight issue.
The second major failure of the Rogers Commission was not determining why the launch was allowed over the protests of Morton Thiokol, the contractor in charge of the solid rocket booster.

ROGERS -- Fourteen families may eventually live there, but the Rogers Planning Commission wasn't willing on Tuesday to grant full acceptance of plans for an environmentally friendly subdivision planned by Habitat for Humanity of Benton County.
A litany of variances was requested with the plans for the new subdivision, but no variances were granted when the commission approved the subdivision's concept.
But, he said, the idea is to do something creative and try to "fit a square peg in a round hole," and he asked the commission for flexibility.

 George Rogers Clark NHP: Historic Structures Report (Chapter 2)
Speaking for the Indiana Commission, Chairman Fortune hailed the President's action, as assuring that "a memorial tribute to Clark and the acquisition of the old northwest will arise on the site of Ft. Sackville." Efforts commenced two years before had achieved great success, but much yet remained to be done.
He suggested the Commission might restore the Grouseland grounds; construct a portico in front of St. Xavier Cathedral; span the Wabash with an Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge; and lay out a Gibault Plaza, with statues of General Clark and Col. Francis Vigo.
In retrospect, the decision by the Indiana Commission to dump Fortune was probably a blunder.
