The debate does not center on the joints that failed in the Challenger accident - the ''case to case'' joints connecting the rocket's giant fuel casing segments. Instead, it focuses on another crucial seam, at the aft end of the rocket, where the nozzle is attached. In shuttle flights before the Jan. 28, 1986, accident, the awkwardly shaped ''nozzle-to-case'' joint was the site of some of the most serious in-flight erosion of safety seals. Revamping the nozzle joint, which cannot be seen from the outside of the rocket, has been one of the stickiest problems facing Morton Thiokol Inc., the booster's manufacturer

'where the NOZZLE is attached'. Trata-se da PROA que é conectada no foguete que impulsiona a PROA, a CHALLENGER, que é o BICO, a CABINE, a PROA onde está a tripulação. O foguete é outra coisa, creio que é um TITAN. O que falhou foram as JUNTAS, que deixaram VAZAR combustível, provocando a explosão de tudo, foguete +cabine (=NOZZLE=PROA=CABINE=MÓDULO DE COMANDO).
