The planned Duplex Command Destruct System (one linear-shaped charge (LSC) on each solid rocket booster (SRB) was analyzed for destruct effectiveness at all times of flight and for unintentional separation of one SRB of the Orbiter. The destruct system was found to be only marginally effective in destructing the external tank (ET) and dispersing the propellants for the first 50 seconds of flight. Further, inadvertent separation of one SRB results in cluster (SRB/ET/Orbiter) breakup within as little as 5 seconds, rendering the SRB mounted destruct system ineffective for destructing the ET.
