Has it been reported why it failed 40 seconds in air?

Re #9
According to some experts, it was fuel knock(imperfect combustion.)

Maybe that's how long we wanted it in the air?

I saw an article that said that the forty seconds was wrong. It said it flew for seven minutes.

My bottle rockets on the 4th stayed airborne longer than that!

Has it been reported why it failed 40 seconds in air?I haven't seen any report as to why. I'm wondering if we hit it or otherwise took it out. Sabotage, maybe?

I read that it failed because some part(s) fell off shortly after launch.

Some experts believe it was fuel knock. It didn't help matters either that the missile sat on the pad for a good couple weeks due to bad launch weather.

On another thread someone suggested is was a Max-Q Issue. The shuttle hits Max-Q at something like 38 seconds. From answers.com Max Q is an aeronautical engineering term for Maximum Quotient, the maximum aerodynamic stress on a spacecraft in atmospheric flight. During a normal space shuttle launch, this occurs at an altitude around 35,000 feet [1]. This maximum stress occurs due to spacecraft acceleration through the atmosphere. After launch, a space vehicle accelerates quickly, causing the pressure exerted by the air on the vehicle to increase. Atmospheric pressure, however, decreases rapidly with increasing altitude. The force exerted by the air increases due to acceleration up until Max Q, after which point the exerted pressure begins to fall due to decreasing air density. The chain of events leading to the Challenger disaster occurred shortly after the spacecraft passed Max Q.

I got this one: the rockets quit firing.

Odd, but CBS early am news this week...Boston's WBZ station...said NK's missile was in the air more than 7 minutes before failing, not just mere seconds, and that it was aimed at waters near Hawaii. Both news anchors looked scared.
