Abstract:
A composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) at the Kennedy Space Center ruptured, causing injury to test team personnel. A lack of adequate independent reviews was the root cause of this mishap. A process for independent reviews of non-routine hazardous test operations and clear Point-of-Contact information pertaining to the necessary disciplines required for review would have triggered the right questions and analyses, thereby avoiding the mishap.
