Reporting Methods and Columbia
In early 2003, the space shuttle Columbia broke apart as it returned to earth, and the shuttle and crew members were lost. In response to this tragedy, an Accident Investigation team was appointed to investigate the cause for the accident, and make suggestions as how to improve the safely of future missions. For the purpose of this report, the e-mails between NASA employees will be reviewed, and recommendations made on this basis.
In reviewing the NASA e-mails it is readily apparent that there are many areas that can be improved. Improving reporting methods is one key area. A number of internal NASA e-mails identify potential problems with foam tile damage, but these were not undertaken...

Within 2 hours loss signal Columbia, A thorough analysis of the interventions posited by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) following the 2003 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster provides a large amount of insight into what went wrong that fateful February day, as well as how to fix it. These interventions can be stratified into four different categories, those involving techno/structural changes, human

The report identifies NASA as "working with an unrealistic set of flights" (Cases Study. N.D.); timelines "which were retained and increased pressure to meet schedules by senior NASA managers" (Case Study. N.D.). The Challenger disaster was marked by the reality that "NASA had found evidence that O-rings had allowed hot exhaust to burn through a primary seal. Since 1982 the O-rings had been designated a "Criticality 1" issue. Indeed, a
Space Shuttle Challenger disaster took place on January 28, 1986 as the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up into pieces just 73 seconds after its launch. The destruction blew the shuttle into flames and dust causing the death of all seven crew members. Even though the crash was a sad moment in the history of NASA and United States Space programs, it is still being studied merely to figure out
The final form of the proposed course of action is as follows: 1. Employees would be offered training programs in order to increase their confidence in the institution - these trainings would first be offered to administrative staff, namely managers, who would then be able to better supervise the NASA operations, identify and propose solutions to the encountered limitations. The programs would also prepare employees for the changes that are
