	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 report was published on June 9, 1986.

	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.

	Woodes Rogers
		Rogers was originally a merchant, but in 1708 fellow Bristol merchants, whose ships were falling prey to pirates, sponsored a retaliatory global expedition and selected Rogers to command it, with William Dampier as his navigator.
		Rogers' described his crews as "tinkers, taylors, hay-makers, pedlers, fidlers etc, one negro and about ten boys." His mission was to harass Spanish shipping; to the English he was a loyal citizen but to the Spanish he was a pirate.
		Rogers received a group of representatives from Harbor Island who assured him that, unlike Vane, many of the pirates were eager to accept the King's amnesty.

	Rogers Report Rhetoric
		Roger Boisjoly, a Thiokol engineer a nd probably the most outspoken internal critic of the launch, had this to say during the interview, "There was never one comment in favor, as I have said, of launching by any engineer or other nonmanagement person in the room before or after the caucus" (93).
		Throug hout this chapter, the report is rather critical of NASA and Thiokol for their failure to acknowledge and deal with the well-documented O-ring and joint problems of the SRBs.
		The gist of this report was that the Challenger accident was an a berration.

	Online NewsHour:The Columbia Report -- August 26, 2003
		With the release of a report Tuesday detailing the findings of an independent board's investigation into the Feb. 1 breakup of the space shuttle Columbia, experts discuss reaction to the report and what its recommendations may mean for NASA's future.
		And one of the things that we discovered after this accident was many of the recommendations made by the Rogers Commission either hadn't been enacted at all by NASA or had been enacted and then allowed to erode over the years.
		I think the Commission report is very strong on noting that since the end of the Apollo program we've continued to have a manned space flight program but no avowed, explicit national policy of why we're sending people into space.

		Among the commission's members were astronauts Neil Armstrong (the first man on the Moon) and Sally Ride (the first American woman in space).
		The commission's chairman was William Rogers, a former U.S. Secretary of State and Attorney General.
		The Rogers Commission, as it became known, uncovered not only the technical cause of the Challenger disaster, but also the serious management problems within NASA that allowed the accident to happen.

		Leaking gas was already known to occur by at least one Thiokol engineer, Roger Boisjoly (pronounced "boy-shzo-lay.") His analysis of photos from earlier launches proved that the hot gases went past the primary and secondary O-rings to the outside.
		Roger Boisjoly's lawyers told him not to offer any information other than what was asked for, but he decided to talk freely anyway.
		Roger tried to stop the launch, because he knew the effects of the extreme cold on the rubber O-rings.

	The Neil Rogers Show - News - Will The Commissioners Cave?
		Amid the feeding frenzy over last week’s staff report of the 9/11 commission, the press downplayed an important fact: the report was produced by the staff and not the commissioners themselves.
		Now that the commission’s staff report has pulled the rug out from under the notion so successfully fostered by the administration that Iraq played a role in the attacks of 9/11, no one should be surprised if the commissioners pull the rug out from under the staff.
		Arguably, the commission is in position to play in 2004 a role analogous to that played by the Supreme Court in 2000 in ensuring the election of George W. Bush and Cheney.

		The Rogers Commission determined that the shuttle exploded because of the hot gas breach of a seal, essentially comprised of putty and rubber washers (O-rings).
		The commission's broad mandate was to "investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident" and "develop recommendations for corrective or other action."[8] And this mandate was framed by a "firm national resolve" to restore the space program--a program that has reified cultural identity around a supposedly common endeavor that transcends cultural differences.
		The Rogers Commission Report made it clear that NASA's organizational decisions were to blame in the decision to launch the space shuttle, despite icy weather and faulty booster seals.

		The consensus of the commission appointed to investigate the accident and participating investigative agencies, is that the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger was caused by a failure in the joint between the two lower segments of the right Solid Rocket Motor.
		The specific failure was the destruction of the seals that are intended to prevent hot gases from leaking through the joint during the propellant burn of the rocket motor.
		This file consists of material and supporting material taken from two reports; Report of the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident and Report to the President Implementations of the Recommendations of the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident.

		Although several engineers--most notably Roger Boisjoly--expressed concern about the effect of the temperature on the resilience of the rubber O-rings that sealed the joints of the solid rocket boosters, Morton Thiokol managers in the end decided to recommend that the launch should go ahead.
		The Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident, also known as the Rogers Commission (after its chairman), was formed to investigate the disaster.
		The commission members were Chairman William P. Rogers, Vice Chairman Neil Armstrong, David Acheson, Eugene Covert, Richard Feynman, Robert Hotz, Donald Kutyna, Sally Ride, Robert Rummel, Joseph Sutter, Arthur Walker, Albert Wheelon, and Chuck Yeager.
