Remembering Roger Boisjoly: He Tried To Stop Shuttle Challenger Launch
#2
RE: Remembering Roger Boisjoly: He Tried To Stop Shuttle Challenger Launch
I worked at the Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) located at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center from April 87 through May 99. Among other things that go on at the HOSC it used to be the facility where the engineers responsible for both the SSME and SRB components sat on console for launch operations. You might be interested in chapter nine and chapter ten from the Book Power To Explore: History of Marshall Space Flight Center 1960-1990. Chapter nine is about the Challenger accident and chapter ten talks about the investigation and the return to flight. Chapter nine might surprise you with just how much NASA knew about problems with the SRB seals well before Challenger. Some of the people discussed in the book were sitting in the HOSC when Challenger blew up.
