...last week hampered their certain identification and recovery. While both rockets had been reported blown up by radio signals within 30 seconds of the accident, NASA belatedly explained that only the nose cones and nozzles were detonated. With the boosters thus opened at both ends, they lost their exhaust thrust and fell to the water...
Even then the onboard computer, sensing the slightest glitch, could still abort a launch. As it happened, Resnik had been aboard the shuttle Discovery in June 1984 when, four seconds before the spacecraft's three main engines were to ignite for lift-off, the computer noted that the thrust from one of them was not at the proper level. The fuse was immediately pinched...
...amid the reams of telemetry that seemed to support the burnthrough theory. According to the unnamed source, the data show that the right solid- fuel booster had a pressure drop of nearly 30 lbs. per sq. in. and a loss of 100,000 lbs., or about 4%, of normal thrust about 10 sec. before the explosion --the kind of decrease a burnthrough would have caused. Later the same day, NASA released new pictures and a videotape showing what it called "an unusual plume" of flame streaking from an apparently enlarging gap in the side of the right booster immediately before...
