The Rogers Commission report, delivered on June 6 to the president, faulted NASA as a whole, and its Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and contractor Morton Thiokol, Inc., in Ogden, Utah, in particular, for poor engineering and management.
What were the last words of the Challenger crew? ?Space shuttle Challenger pilot Michael J. Smith exclaimed ?Uh-oh 3/8? at the moment the spacecraft exploded, and some of the crew apparently lived long enough to turn on emergency air packs, NASA said.?
These four spouses and six children shared in cash and annuities that cost $7,735,000. The government paid 40 percent; Thiokol, 60 percent. They had relied on informal advice from the law partner of McAuliffe's husband, Steven, and they talked only with the government, never directly with the company.
While the autopsy reports were never released to the public, the investigation reports that followed stated the factors leading to death included high temperature, overpressure, and hypoxia with inhalation of products of combustion.
Morton Thiokol, maker of the faulty booster rocket that was blamed for the Jan. 28, 1986, explosion, paid $4,641,000. The government's share of the settlements was $3,094,000. A lawyer who represented other family members called the settlements ?woefully inadequate.?
The remains of the crew were badly damaged from impact and submersion, and were not intact bodies. The USS Preserver made multiple trips to return debris and remains to port, and continued crew compartment recovery until April 4.
Findings. The commission found that the immediate cause of the Challenger accident was a failure in the O-rings sealing the aft field joint on the right solid rocket booster, causing pressurized hot gases and eventually flame to "blow by" the O-ring and contact the adjacent external tank, causing structural failure.
The consensus of the Commission and participating investigative agencies is that the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger was caused by a failure in the joint between the two lower segments of the right Solid Rocket Motor.
