	Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster: The Times Report - Sidebar - ninemsn Encarta
		Space shuttle flights had become a matter of routine for the American public only six years after a craft had first lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
		The 25th shuttle flight was scheduled to kick off the busiest year ever for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with a scheduled 15 flights, hastening the day when space flight would be possible for everybody.
		The disaster that befell that flight, however, as reported here in The Times of January 29, 1986, meant that there was not another shuttle flight for nearly three years.

	Space disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Space Shuttle Challenger was torn apart 73 seconds after launch due to hot gases escaping the SRBs cutting a hole into the external tank.
		Space disasters, either during operations or training, have killed around 15 astronauts and 4 cosmonauts (5% of all people who have been in space, 2% per flight), and a much larger number of ground crew.
		The history of space exploration has been marred by a number of tragedies that resulted in the deaths of the astronauts or ground crew.

	Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster, International Space Station, Russia-Iran Space-Nuclear Linkage - CDI Russia Weekly #243
		Space officials in Moscow say Russia has enough spacecraft to deliver supplies to the station to maintain it -- but not much else.
		Under an agreement with its partners in the $96 billion project, Russia has carried cosmonauts and space tourists to the station on short visits and kept a Soyuz capsule as a lifeboat docked to the station.
		One is scheduled to take a replacement crew to the space station in late April; the other one is docked there as a "lifeboat" to ferry the crew to Earth should anything go wrong.

	Space Shuttle Challenger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Space Shuttle Challenger (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-099) was NASA's second Space Shuttle orbiter to be put into service, after Columbia.
		Its maiden voyage was on April 4, 1983, and it made eight further round trips to low earth orbit before breaking up 73 seconds after the launch of its tenth mission, on January 28, 1986, killing all 7 crew members.
		Challenger was one of two space shuttles destroyed in an accident during a mission, the other being Columbia.

		A 1997 independent report by the National Security Council warned that a bit of manmade space debris or a natural meteorite could cause a hole in the vulnerable leading edge of a shuttle wing upon re-entry, and that the result would be a "blowtorch" effect, leading to the demise of the craft.
		The space agency also warns that the debris is government property, and local law enforcement officials have been asked to aid in recovering it.
		Kathie Scobee Fulgham, whose father died on the space shuttle Challenger, was to speak to the children of the Columbia astronauts at the memorial.

	Satellites To Be Launched For Better Disaster Management
		"We are willing to make the small satellite constellation one of the platforms for disaster mitigation in the Asia-Pacific region and to actively promote the application of space technology for disaster control in China and other countries in the region to reduce costs and risks, and share resources," said Luan.
		China's space technology has attracted the world's attention with high successful rates of satellite launches and, in particular, with its status as the third country after Russia and the United States to send a human being into space.
		He pledged that China will provide necessary technical assistance when major natural disasters occur and make full use of the nation's resources to provide training for space technology-based disaster mitigation and control to developing countries.

		And they were equally horrified to learn in the aftermath of the disaster that the faulty design had been chosen by NASA to satisfy powerful politicians who had demanded the mission be launched, even under unsafe conditions.
		Claims that the disaster was the unavoidable price to be paid for pioneering a new frontier were self-serving rationalizations on the part of those responsible for incompetent engineering management — the disaster should have been avoidable.
		With Christa McAuliffe set to be the first teacher in space, NASA had arranged a satellite broadcast of the full mission into television sets in many schools, but the general public did not have access to this unless they were one of the then-few people with satellite dishes.

		Advent of space systems and their continuous developments have provided new capabilities to address various disaster situations - both man-made and natural - which have been causing untold misery and significant economic loss.
		The relevance of application of space systems is more significant in developing countries due to their particular situation which includes lack of terrestrial infrastructure and trained human resources.
		Space systems have a unique role to play in the warning of impending disasters to assist the level of preparedness and to minimise the loss of life and damage to productive resources.

	News in Science - Space shuttle disaster delays space station - 03/02/2003
		A presidential commission found the accident was caused by a failure in a rubber joint between the two lower segments of the right solid rocket booster, the long thin rockets attached to the shuttle during lift-off.
		The space station can operate for months with its current crew and supplies, but no new structural elements can be carried aloft until the shuttles are back in operation, NASA's John Ira Petty said from Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas.
		The first space shuttle to fly when it debuted in 1981, Columbia was on its 28th mission and had just undergone a major overhaul.

	20 years since U.S. space disaster
		On January 28, 1986, little more than a minute after launch, the space shuttle Challenger turned into a ball of fire that consumed it and killed all seven astronauts on board, sending tendrils of smoke shooting out of control and bits of debris raining down against the bright blue sky over Cape Canaveral.
		Her presence onboard also was meant to make space flight more tangible for the public, to rekindle a pioneering spirit in the exploration of space and to create a sense of unity in astronomical research.
		NASA was at a low point, but it recovered, and the shuttle programme restarted and ran successfully until 2003, helping to bridge the end of the Cold War in space as the U.S. and Russian space programmes joined to construct the international space station.

		The Columbia disaster, when the space shuttle disintegrated, was preceded by the Challenger disaster of January 28, 1986.
		When Space Shuttle Columbia attempted re-entry on February 1, super-heated air entered the breach in the leading edge of the left wing, progressively melting the wing's aluminium structure, resulting in a weakening of the structure and eventual disintegration.

		Responsive Space, which refers to a system of low-cost small satellites launched when needed on inexpensive expendable rockets, could enhance our response to what forecasters expect will be several decades of severe weather events.
		Responsive Space disaster monitoring satellites could be launched within hours for a cost of approximately $20 million per mission (including the cost of the satellite, launch, and operations), as compared to delays of years and a cost $150 million to over $1 billion for current traditional missions.

	JURIST - Walters: Legal Implications of the Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster
		The Outer Space Treaty, however, could afford a remedy for “collateral damage,” i.e., damage or personal injury to foreign nationals and their property that may have resulted from the mishap.
		Unlike the Outer Space Treaty, the FTCA is governed by the applicable state law where the Government “act or omission occurred” and requires proof of Government negligence.
		Representatives of NASA employee astronauts who perished in the Challenger disaster did not avail themselves of this administrative remedy, perhaps because of the low dollar recovery it afforded and/or the necessity for pursuing special Congressional action to increase that recovery.
