An investigation into the explosion found the cause to be two failed O-ring seals in the Space Shuttle’s right solid rocket booster, which had been manufactured by Morton Thiokol. Test data from as early as 1977 had revealed a potentially catastrophic flaw in the O-rings in cold conditions, but neither Morton Thiokol nor NASA addressed or corrected the issue. Shortly before takeoff, several Morton Thiokol engineers recommended delaying the launch until temperatures at Cape Canaveral warmed, but they were overruled by company management. ���� Est. $400-600 Banknote & Philatelic Souvenir Cards Maryland 348 348 Maryland.
