v2appj The integrated training for STS 51-L was divided into ascent and entry training, which was run with the ascent and entry teams in the MCC, and on-orbit simulations, which were run with the flight control team that would be on duty during the portion of the flight being simulated. The STS 51-L training schedule was changed several times during the last 6 weeks prior to launch due to the launch slips of STS 61-C and the desire to suspend simulations between the Christmas and New Year holidays. The final impact of the STS 61-C launch slips on STS 51-L training was a compression of the spacing between the dynamic phase (ascent and entry) simulations during the last 2 weeks before flight. history.nasa.gov /rogersrep/v2appj.htm   (8831 words)

Challenger Paper The STS 51-L mission was to deploy the second Tracking and Data Relay Satellite and the Spartan Halley's Comet observer. As this paper will explore, the tragic decision to launch STS 51-L was based on long term contributing factors and the use of a flawed group decision support system that was further aggravated by its related mismanagement. On Jan. 28, 1986, STS 51-L exploded shortly after liftoff, destroying the vehicle and all of its seven crew members. frontpage.hypermall.com /jforrest/challenger/challenger_sts.htm   (1041 words)

v3appoe4 The salvage of STS 51-L debris was unique due to the large geographic size (480 square nautical miles) of the search area, the small size of much of the debris being sought, the large number of contacts requiring investigation, and the random dispersion of STS 51-L on the ocean bottom. Progress in the classification of STS 51 -L contacts for recovery was tedious and slow. Manned submersibles were selected for STS 51-L salvage operations because 1) they did not require a tether to a surface support vessel which minimized current drag from the Gulf Stream, and 2) for real-time on-site observer capability which allowed NASA technical personnel to view debris directly as submersible occupants and, thus, expedited contact classification efforts. history.nasa.gov /rogersrep/v3appoe4.htm   (5870 words)
