What aspects of NASA practice revealed in the aftermath of the Columbia disaster suggest that the changes sought in the aftermath of the Challenger disaster were not sustained?

The Columbia disaster revealed that NASA's safety culture was still not fully ingrained, as there were similar issues with management communication and decision-making. The independent investigation found that some of the reforms implemented after the Challenger disaster, such as fostering an open reporting environment for safety concerns, had not been fully embraced or enforced. This suggests that the changes sought in the aftermath of the Challenger disaster were not sustained in the long term.


What year did the Space Shuttle Callenger explode?

January 28, 1986. Officially it didn't explode. Seperation from the aft support strut caused the right solid rocket booster to impact the external tank, change the vehicles course dramatically, and cause disintegration of the orbiter and external tank due anomolous aerodynamic forces. The two solid rocket boosters continued powered flight for 37 seconds afterward.


Can space shuttle circle the runway before landing?

No, the space shuttle did not have the capability to circle the runway like traditional airplanes due to its design and trajectory upon re-entry. It followed a predetermined path and did not have the ability to change its landing location.


How and why will the mass of the whole space vehicle change while the space shuttle is in orbit?

The mass of the space vehicle will not change while in orbit unless parts are added or removed. However, the weight of the space vehicle will fluctuate due to changes in gravitational forces as it orbits different celestial bodies.


When is the last space shuttle going up?

The last space shuttle mission was STS-135, which was launched on July 8, 2011. The space shuttle Atlantis was used for this final mission to the International Space Station. After this mission, the space shuttle program was retired.

What aspect of NASA practice revealed in the aftermath of the Columbia disaster suggest that changes sought in the aftermath of the Challenger disaster were not sustained?

The commission's recommended that NASA needed to restructure its management so that change could take place. NASA's management needed to tighten its control to establish higher safety regulations for shuttle safety. Both the Challenger and Columbia had safety issues that were either overlooked or brushed under the rug. NASA also had major communication problems before, during, and after both disasters. The lack of communication posed a significant safety issue for everyone in the space program.


How old is the hubble space telescope?

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit aboard NASA's space shuttle Discovery (mission STS-31) on April 24, 1990.The Hubble Space Telescope was originally meant to be launched in 1986, but the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger delayed the launch until April 24th 1990.The Hubble telescope is now seen as one of the most versatile telescopes in space. After it was launched in 1990, astronomers had a chance to change and improve the telescope through missions by astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle.

What causes a spaceshuttle to change in velocity by change in direction?

A change in velocity due to a change in direction in a space shuttle is caused by the application of thrust from its engines. By adjusting the direction of thrust, the shuttle can alter its velocity vector, changing its speed and/or direction of travel. This allows the shuttle to adjust its course, orbit, or perform maneuvers in space.
