PDF-(BOOK)-The Challenger Launch Decision: Risky Technology, Culture, and Deviance at NASA

When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28 1986 millions of Americans became bound together in a single historic moment Many still vividly remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the tragedy In The Challenger Launch Decision Diane Vaughan recreates the steps leading up to that fateful decision contradicting conventional interpretations to prove that what occurred at NASA was not skulduggery or misconduct but a disastrous mistakeJournalists and investigators have historically cited production problems and managerial wrongdoing as the reasons behind the disaster The Presidential Commission uncovered a flawed decisionmaking process at the space agency as well citing a welldocumented history of problems with the Oring and a dramatic lastminute protest by engineers over the Solid Rocket Boosters as evidence of managerial neglectWhy did NASA managers who not only had all the information prior to the launch but also were warned against it decide to proceed In retelling how the decision unfolded through the eyes of the managers and the engineers Vaughan uncovers an incremental descent into poor judgment supported by a culture of highrisk technology She reveals how and why NASA insiders when repeatedly faced with evidence that something was wrong normalized the deviance so that it became acceptable to themNo safety rules were broken No single individual was at fault Instead the cause of the disaster is a story not of evil but of the banality of organizational life This powerful work explains why the Challenger tragedy must be reexamined and offers an unexpected warning about the hidden hazards of living in this technological age. at Wanaka Airport Photo credit: www.csbf.nasa.gov NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has been assessing the suitability of Wanaka Airport as a site for the launch of an unmanned Lecture 3/3.

The untold story of a national trauma—NASA’s Challenger explosion—and what really happened to America’s Teacher in Space, illuminating the tragic cost of humanity setting its sight on the starsYou’ve seen the pictures. You think you know what happened. You do not.On the morning of January 28, 1986, NASA’s space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after blasting off from Cape Canaveral. Christa McAuliffe, America’s “Teacher in Space,” was instantly killed, along with the other six members of the mission. Right? Wrong.Thirty-five years after NASA’s revitalization program literally went up in smoke, Kevin Cook uncovers the untold story of the disastrous order to launch on an ice-cold Florida day. For the first time, he takes readers inside the shuttle for those agonizing two minutes and forty-five seconds after the fire, which, yes, some of the astronauts survived.But this is more than a simple corrective to a now-dimming memory. Centering on McAuliffe, a charmingly ordinary civilian on the cusp of history, The Burning Blue animates the mission’s colorful cast of characters, which featured the second female astronaut (who was also the first Jewish astronaut), the second Black one, and the first Asian-American and Buddhist in space. Drawing intimate portraits of the people wearing the spacesuits and detailing how they earned the right to suit up, Cook makes readers temporarily forget the tragedy toward which the tale is hurtling. Infused with drama, immediacy, and compelling characters, The Burning Blue reveals the human price paid for politics and capital-P Progress on that ill-fated, unforgettable morning. When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, millions of Americans became bound together in a single, historic moment. Many still vividly remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the tragedy. Diane Vaughan recreates the steps leading up to that fateful decision, contradicting conventional interpretations to prove that what occurred at NASA was not skullduggery or misconduct but a disastrous mistake. Why did NASA managers, who not only had all the information prior to the launch but also were warned against it, decide to proceed? In retelling how the decision unfolded through the eyes of the managers and the engineers, Vaughan uncovers an incremental descent into poor judgment, supported by a culture of high-risk technology. She reveals how and why NASA insiders, when repeatedly faced with evidence that something was wrong, normalized the deviance so that it became acceptable to them. In a new preface, Vaughan reveals the ramifications for this book and for her when a similar decision-making process brought down NASA\'s Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003. metal oxide . semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensors invented at JPL allow smaller, more efficient digital imagers than those based on charge coupled device .
