Is CSD the Chemical Systems Division of UTC? At any rate, there is an argument/discussion going on about the notion of barring Thiokol (or at least Morton) from future work. I'd like to know how that fits in with other companies' failures. What penalties were imposed on UTC/CSD for the Titan 34D explosion? What happened to Beech as a result of Apollo 13? Did Rockwell (still North American at the time?) suffer from Apollo 204? The Titan and Apollo 13 failures may not have been due to fundamental design faults, but Apollo 204 was. -- David Smith HP Labs dsmith@hplabs.hp.com
