Booster test in Utah signals cautious NASA optimism
Initial results of a two-minute, 15 million dollar test firing in Utah showed NASA and Morton Thiokol engineers the redesigned booster seals perform as intended under temperature variation. Officials note no explosion or disintegration, but an exhaustive autopsy will check interior components for wear or damage. The test follows the Challenger disaster of January 28, 1986, which killed seven astronauts and grounded the program.
