- A high-reliability spaceflight program observed early that a critical seal component eroded slightly under cold-launch conditions — a flagged anomaly, outside the original design specification.
This sourcePrimary investigation establishing that the solid-rocket-booster O-ring eroded under cold-launch conditions as a flagged out-of-spec anomaly (the seal lost resilience below ~53 deg F while the launch-morning temperature was far colder), and that the eve-of-launch engineering recommendation against launching in the forecast cold was overruled.
