Team to relieve shuttle workers
Cape Canaveral, Fla. (AP) -
NASA officials, reorganizing
launch operations in the aftermath
of the Challenger disaster, are
creating a standby "scrub team" so
launch managers can get adequate
rest when shuttle countdowns are
postponed.
The special team was conceived
as a way to "minimize executive
fatigue that could affect (launch)
decisions," a top Kennedy Space
Center official told The Associated
Press.
Top launch officials said they
also are ordering a sharp reduction
in Kennedy Space Center overtime
- to be "rigidly observed" - as a
way of eliminating the long hours
worked by shuttle engineers,
technicians, and managers.
The presidential commission
that investigated the Challenger
explosion that killed seven crew
members last Jan. 28 was critical of
the great amount of exhausting
overtime built up by shuttle wor -
kers, mainly because the previous
'We have a new overtime policy and that's going to
be very rigidly observed, for both contractor and
government workers.'I
-Air Force Lt. Gen. Forrest McCartney
Utsman, also interviewed last week,
said, "We've got to address the
manning levels to preclude us from
getting into an overtime situation."
What about the key launch
managers who put in such long
hours when there is a postponement
late in the countdown which results
in another attempt just 24 hours
later?
"We will have a special team
devoted to scrubs," Utsman replied.
"It will handle the scrub turnaround
tasks so we can get a lot of
management out and get them
rested before they have to come
back in on that 24-hour turnaround.
That's one way to minimize
executive fatigue that could affect
decisions."
Turnaround tasks include making
the vehicle safe, making sure the
crew can safely leave, and making
decisions based on the reason for
the delay.
For the other workers, Mc -
Cartney said, "We feel we have
established a realistic work flow
without stressing the work force.
Now, make no mistake, there's
going to be some overtime."

"At Kennedy Space Center,
numerous contact employees have
worked 72 hours per week or longer
and frequent 12-hour shifts," the
commission report said. "The
potential implications of such
overtime for safety were made
apparent during the attempted
launch of mission 61C (Columbia)
on Jan. 6, 1986, when fatigue and
shiftwork were cited as major
contributing factors to a serious
incident involving a liquid oxygen
depletion that occurred less than
five minutes before scheduled
liftoff."
"We have a new overtime policy
and that's going to be very rigidly
observed, for both contractor and
government workers," said Air
