Rogers Commission Report

The Rogers Commission Report was written by a Presidential Commission charged with investigating the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster during its 10th mission, STS-51-L. The report, released and submitted to President Ronald Reagan on June 9, 1986, determined the cause of the disaster that took place 73 seconds after liftoff, and urged the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to improve and install new safety features on the shuttles and in its organizational handling of future missions.
