Albert Gore in a heanng marked by caused by a chain of events Quality may very well be in that chain," said Truly. Gore said documents he obtained from an unnamed NASA official showed that the number of quality assurance personnel at the et- .1 space agency has decreased by 71 percent since June 1970, at the peak of the Apollo moon landing program "NASA's quality assurance program has not only been eroded, but in some cases it has virtually disappeared," he said. Gore said the past successes -may have given NASA an illusion of invincibility. Under budgetary pressures, the choice was made that the program might get by on reputation. or live withot.t the same standards of excellence." unusually sharp criticism of NASA, charged Thursday the I11 agency has suffered a serious breakdown in quality control that may have led to the shuttle disaster. Members of the Senate space subcommittee also criticized the administration for de,aying a decision on requesting funds for a shuttle to replace Challenrr and for more unmanned rockets to ease the nation's space launch crisis. Rear Adm. Richard Truly, the new head of the shuttle program for the space agency, said he has recommended that the agency try to get the first shuttle flight off in late July 1987 the first time NASA has acknowledged publicly the accident will delay shuttle flights that long. w t, ; - 1' ',"1.11', 1 T' ) . ,tss,st."--.tAviti- were made at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala., which is in charge of the shuttle booster rockets. He said Marshall had 615 quality control people in 1970 and had only 88 last August, a reduction of 86 percent. NASA's chief engineer, Milton Silveira, disagreed with Gore's conclusions. Silveira said technicians at some centers today are doing quality control work but are listed under other categories, and he said many of the quality assurance personnel during the peak of the Apollo were doing work not required today. Gore also criticized NASA for not having a second source for building the solid booster rockets, which are manufactured by hiokol in Utah and shipped in segments to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for stacking. 1 CLIP & SAVE utt Cakt 42.ht IQ Scum maal I rake Titibuitt alt All unsolicited articles, manuscripts, letters and pictures sent at the owner's risk and K earns-TribuCorporation assumes no responsibility tor their custody or return.

Gore, opened the morning-long hearing by charging that the shuttle explosion, the April failure of the Air Force Titan 34D rocket and last Saturday's loss of a Delta rocket might have been prevented if stronger quality control measures had been in place. "Some say NASA is just having an extraordinary run of bad luck," Gore said, "I wish I could believe that explanation. But I think the evidence points overwhelmingly toward a serious breakdown in quality assurance." r lf N) ;1'; ih t t, ) .,) ' I, e t; - 4 1 i .,....;,,w,.....:............r , -J jrido, Is Nailed n lie-Ma- - Likt Intune, odit Zi atb |
