This Technical Memorandum discusses an effort to correct buckling sustained by solid rocket booster (SRB) forward skirts during water impact after Space Transportation System (STS) launches. By early 1991, five skirtsthree left-hand and two right-hand flight unitshad been damaged in this manner. Three had skin fracture damage and buckling, and one contained a tension failure in the aft clevis. The fifth skirt sustained damage levels that are unknown, as it was lost at sea during retrieval.
