DetailsThe theme of Allan McDonald's book "Truth, Lies and O-Rings" is that cold temperature was the major culprit in the Challenger explosion. However, McDonald admits repeatedly the joint design was flawed and this was the primary problem. The flaw is simply this: when pressurized, the joint opens up and the O-ring gland becomes grossly improperly ...

This annotated image was taken by a parachute-up-look camera aboard the protective back shell of NASA's Perseverance rover during its descent toward Mars' Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021. Using binary code, two messages have been encoded in the neutral white and international-orange parachute gores (the …
DetailsThe amount of O-ring erosion was insufficient to prevent the O-ring from sealing, and investigators concluded that the soot between the O-rings resulted from non-uniform pressure at the time of ignition.: 130 : 39–42 The January 1985 launch of STS-51-C was the coldest Space Shuttle launch to date. The air temperature was 62 °F (17 °C) at ...
DetailsO-Ring Gland Fill % Gland volume vs. O-Ring volume ; About 25% void space or 75% nominal fill ; Need space in groove to allow for volume swell, thermal expansion, and increasing width due to squeeze ; Narrower groove for sealing vacuum or gas ; O-Ring can extrude into clearance gap or get squeezed in two directions ; O-Ring Eccentricity & Side ...
DetailsJul 02, 2022· Jupiter's main ring was discovered in 1979 by NASA's passing Voyager 1 spacecraft, but its origin was then a mystery. Data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft that orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003, however, confirmed the hypothesis that this ring was created by meteoroid impacts on small nearby moons. As a small meteoroid strikes tiny …
DetailsButyl rubber has been tested in face type O-ring seals using grooves that provided 15%, 30% and 50% compression. For vertical O-ring applications (as a chamber), it is desirable to use an undercut groove similar to that shown in Figure 1. The O-ring is held firmly in place and has no tendency to drop out of the groove when the chamber is open.
DetailsMay 28, 2008· Pasadena, Calif. -- NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has found a bizarre ring of material around the magnetic remains of a star that blasted to smithereens. The stellar corpse, called SGR 1900+14, belongs to a class of objects known as magnetars. These are the cores of massive stars that blew up in supernova explosions, but unlike …
DetailsTechnical Handbook O-rings Lower compression set values indicate improved remaining seal capacity. Compression set values generally increase with increased temperature and time. For O-rings the minimum squeeze should be about .007 inch. (0,175mm). The reason is that with a very light squeeze almost all elastomers quickly take compression set.
DetailsFourth, both Thiokol and Marshall continued to rely on the redundancy of the secondary O-ring long after NASA had officially declared that the seal was a non-redundant single point failure. Finally, in 1985 when temperature became a major concern after STS 51-C and when the launch constraint was applied after 51-B, NASA Levels l and II were not ...
Detailson O-ring drive belts and their application will be found in O-Ring Applications, Section III. 1.2 What is an O-Ring Seal? An O-ring seal is used to prevent the loss of a fluid or gas. The seal assembly consists of an elastomer O-ring and a gland. An O-ring is a circular cross-section ring molded from rubber (Figure 1-1).
DetailsAs a part of the redesign of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Motor, the field and nozzle-to-case joints were redesigned to minimize the dynamic flexure caused by internal motor pressurization during ignition. The O-ring seals and glands for the joints were designed to accommodate both structural deflections and to promote pressure assistance. A test …

DetailsThese O-rings are heat-treated, cleaned, and double-bagged in an ISO Class 5 (Fed. Std. Class 100) clean room for use in high-vacuum systems.Also known as baked O-rings, they are heated to 300° F to remove trapped air, gases, and other impurities that can escape and contaminate a vacuum system.Made of fluoroelastomer, these O-rings won't degrade …
