Expert says warped
Ist 2 minutes
in shuttle are
inescapable
Associated Press
SPACE CENTER, Houston — No
matter how else NASA improves the
shuttle’s safety, “all the money in the
world” will not provide a way for the
crew to escape during the first two
minutes while the solid rocket boost
ers are firing, an expert says.
Tommy Holloway, chief of the
flight director’s office at the Johnson
Space Center, said the survival of the
astronauts during launch depends
absolutely on those boosters working
properly.
If those rockets fail, he said, “you
don’t have a snowball’s chance in
hell.”
Failure of the right solid rocket
booster, or SRB, is the prime suspect
in the Jan. 28 explosion that de
stroyed Challenger and killed its
crew of seven 73 seconds after lift
off.
Once the boosters’ solid propel
lant is ignited, they cannot be
stopped or slowed and will burn un
til the propellant is depleted, slightly
more than two minutes after blast
off. After they burn out, at about 10
miles altitude, the SRBs are sepa
rated and parachuted to the ocean.
The boosters, teamed with the
shuttle’s main engines fueled by liq
uid hydrogen and oxygen from the
external tank, push the whole
“stack” — weighing 4.5 million
pounds when Challenger took off —
to more than twice the speed of
sound within seconds after liftoff.
Holloway said that even if some
escape system was designed, such as
ejecting the whole crew compart
ment while the SRBs are burning,
the crew would still be killed because
of the high speeds reached while the
SRBs are firing.
“You’re going at mach 1.3 or 1.4,
up to 2 (about 1,400 mph),” said
Holloway. “If you try to get off those
things, and the fireball don’t get you,
then just the dynamics of stopping
will.”
The engineer said Challenger
might have been torn apart just by
the force of the air smashing into it
at such high speeds, instead of by the
fireball that enveloped it, as the ex
plosion in the fuel tank changed the
aerodynamic shape of the overall ve
hicle assembly.
He said an escape system probably
could not react in time to avoid a
Challenger-like disaster.
“I’m not sure it’s possible even if
you had all the money in the world
to build a system to react in time to
do anything about the 51-L (Chal
lenger) situation,” he said.
He said some automatic system
run by a computer could be devised
“but I would be very concerned
about the system activating prema
turely and inappropriately.”
Holloway said engineers “ex
plored all of these possibilities back
in the late 70s” and concluded that
there was no safe escape from the
shuttle during the early moments of
launch.
Survey: Some schools not affected by no pass, no pic
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The controversial no
pass, no-play rule has had no appar
ent effect on failure rates in several
of the state’s largest school districts
during its first year, a survey shows.
Statistics from large and small
Texas school districts indicate the
percentage of students receiving
failing grades has changed little —
and even risen in some cases — in
the six grading periods since the rule
went into effect, the Austin Ameri-
can-Statesman reported Sunday.
Critics of the rule say it is not
working. Supporters say Texans
need to give it more time.
No pass, no play — associated for
the past year with heated political
debates, disgruntled parents and
tearful cheerleaders — is a provision
of the education reforms approved
by the Legislature in 1984.
Under the rule, which took effect
in January 1985, any student receiv
ing a failing mark in a course is bar
red from extracurricular activities
for the next six-week grading pe
riod.
Waelder High School in Gonzalez
County lost its football squad last fall
because of the rule. School bands
have lost entire sections.
While individuals may have been
inspired to perform better, the rule
has not dramatically affect
failure rates, the Ameriff
man reported.
