The primary O-ring was too cold to seal properly, the cold-stiffened heat resistant putty that protected the rubber O-rings from the fuel collapsed, and gases at over 5000°F burned past both O-rings across 70 degrees of arc Eight hundredths of a second after ignition, the shuttle lifted off.

9 O-ring resiliency is directly related to its temperature a A warm O-ring that has been compressed will return to its original shape much quicker than will a cold O-ring when compression is relieved Thus, a warm O-ring will follow the opening of the tang-to-clevis gap A cold O-ring may not b.

The failure of an O-ring seal was determined to be the cause of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986 A crucial factor was cold weather prior to the launch This was famously demonstrated on television by Caltech physics professor Richard Feynman, when he placed a small O-ring into ice-cold water, and subsequently showed its loss of flexibility before an investigative.
