Search teams fighting Strong Atlantic current continued to bring in challenger s spreading debris on Sun Day including a 10,000-Pound rocket fragment. The search area was extended to More than 40,000 Square Miles. We re finding a lot of empty Ocean today said it. Cmdr. James Simpson a coast guard spokesman. The apparent rupture in the Strong rocket casing whether at a seam or elsewhere had the effect of pointing a Torch at the Side of challenger s fuel tank. The theory is that the flame either burned through the tank or a destruct package causing the explosion or raised the tank pressure to intolerable limits with the lame result. Still a theory this theory remained just that. Nasa s acting administrator William Graham the Only Agency official speaking on the record said sunday that the Agency still is looking for other causes for the explosion. Photographs released by Nasa show a Tongue of flame apparently lashing upward from the exhaust of the right Booster rocket into an area that films of previous launches showed to by Clear of fire or flame. The flame appeared  Lul 15 seconds of night. The flame we somewhere in this Vicinity Graham said As he made the rounds of sunday television talk shows. He pointed to a Field joint the seam Between the lowest segment of the right Booster and the second Seg ment. The name comes form the fact that the segments arrive at Cape canaveral individually and Are put to Gether in the Field at the Center.

We Haven t yet finished the analysis and measurements on film to identify the exact Point at which the plume of flame appeared Graham said on lbs face the  and on Abc s meet the press he said we Haven t done the measurements yet to see whether it was at the seam or near the  there has been published speculation based on unidentified sources that the Finger of flame either burned through the fuel Lank Wall and ignited its huge Supply of liquid Hydrogen or that it set off the destruction mechanism by lighting a primer Cord. But Charles Redmond a Nasa spokesman said just heating the tank would have turned the liquid Hydrogen and liquid oxygen to  thus increasing the pressure beyond the Bunting paint. Hydrogen must be kept a minus 423 degrees fahrenheit and oxygen at minus 297 degrees fahrenheit to remain in liquid states. Graham asked How soon shuttle flights might re sume replied that there is no Way to say what time we can go  fundamentally sound but he added this is a fundamentally sound system. It s gone through 24 successful flights. There was obviously an Accident. There is a problem there. But the Overall configuration and design we believe to be Funda mentally sound and we believe it won t take a very longtime to get this problem  on sunday ships planes and helicopters we researching three main areas 6,300 Square Miles from Melbourne Fla., to St. Augustine and 80 Miles offshore. An area from Cape Graver Al to Savannah ga.,and 150 Miles offshore 33,000 Square Miles. The Shore to three Miles out from Ponce de Leon Fla., to Jacksonville. Speculation had been that the object recovered off the Georgia coast was the top of the fuel tank. But when the object arrived at Cape canaveral it was identified apart of the left Booster rocket. It could shed no Light on the Accident because it was a segment that contained the parachutes designed to lower the 149-foot Long Booster into the Ocean for retrieval and refurbishment.
