Improvements To Space Program
Many improvements were made before the space shuttle fleet were allowed to return to flight. Among them were the following:
- shuttles no longer carried commercial payloads.
- the schedule was reduced to allow more time between launches.
- the solid rocket boosters were redesigned.
- establishment of the Office of Safety, Reliability, and Quality Assurance (this was deemed to have not been entirely successful in its long-term effects in the light of the Columbia disaster).
