The Challenger Disaster. On January 28, 1986 the space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after take-off and killed seven astronauts. It was the 25th shuttle launch since NASA started service in 1981. For the first time a teacher was a member of the crew. Christa McAuliffe had won a contest against thousands of other teachers.
The next shuttle launch was the seventh flight of the Discovery orbiter, which returned to flight on September 29th, 1988. Among other things, the flight delays caused by the Challenger disaster included a delay in the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope, in addition to a fleet of classified satellites.
