How were the remains of the challenger space shuttle found?
By divers.
Where is the space shuttle Challenger buried?
The debris from Space Shuttle Challenger is buried under a missile silo in Cape Canaveral AFB in Merritt Island, Florida. The remains are buried in 2 underground 80 ft. deep minuteman missile silos on abandoned launch complex 31/32.
Where is space shuttle Columbia buried?
Space Shuttle Columbia is not buried. I think you mean Space Shuttle Challenger, which in buried in two minutemen missile silos on the abandoned Launch complex 31. Space Shuttle Columbia remains are stored on the 16th floor of the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center.
Where are those 6 space shuttles now?
Space Shuttle Enterprise is on the flight deck of the Intrepid in New York, the remains Space Shuttle Columbia (Broke apart in 2003) are on the 16th floor of the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center, the remains of Space Shuttle Challenger (Broke apart in 1986) is in an abandoned missile at Launch Complex 46 at Patricks Air Force Base, Space Shuttle Discovery is at the National Air and Space Museum in Virginia, Space Shuttle Atlantis will soon be at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and Space Shuttle Endeavour will soon be at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, California.
Did they recover bodies from the space shuttle challenger disaster?
Yes - all of the crew remains were recovered when the Shuttle Crew Compartment was discovered during recovery operations in the weeks following the accident. It was determined from both evidence in the compartment and autopsies that several were still alive after the explosion (emergency oxygen canisters had been activated) and that they survived until impacting the ocean.

What space shuttle crew is honered by a memorial in Arlington national cemetery?
The crew of the shuttle Challenger (lost on takeoff on January 28, 1986) is memorialized by a bronze plaque and marker in Arlington. Shuttle crewmembers Captain Michael Smith (USN) and Air Force veteran Francis "Dick" Scobee are buried in Arlington, with unidentified crew remains interred near Scobee's grave.

Where were the remains of the Columbia crew located?
The remains of the Columbia crew were located in multiple locations following the 2003 Space Shuttle disaster. Debris from the spacecraft and remains of the crew were scattered across a large area in Texas and parts of Louisiana. Recovery and search teams were able to locate and retrieve the remains of the crew members over the course of several weeks.
If your space ship blew up and you died what would happen?
It is unlikely that anyone would find your body.A major recovery effort would be launched immediately as happened during the Challenger and Columbia disasters. The military are called in to search, and every effort would be made to find all the possible remains, the human ones as well as the shuttle components. The cockpit of the Challenger was mostly intact when recovered from the ocean. As much of the shuttle as possible is reconstructed in a huge hangar at Kennedy Space Center. Major investigations take place which are usually highly critical of NASA operations. The shuttle fleet is grounded until all the recommendations from the investigation are implemented.
What condition were the bodies of challenger and discovery?
The Challenger struck the water at such a high rate of speed that finding all the pieces afterward was a very daunting task. Some pieces even washed ashore eleven years after the disaster. The bodies (or more accurately, some of their remains) were sent to their families for burial, with two being buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The rest of the remains were buried in a communal plot. The Discovery was not known to have produced any disaster. The Columbia, however, disintegrated upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Parts of the shuttle, as well as human remains, were found scattered over parts of North and East Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.
In which states did they find remains of Challenger?
Texas, Louisiana and some other state....but i know it was 3 states for sure.
Was Christa McAuliffe a christian?
Christa McAuliffe was a social studies teacher and one of the seven crew members that died in the Challenger accident. She loved it when the first mission took off and wanted to be an astronaut ever since. She finally got the chance when she was selected to go up in space as a teacher out of about 11,000 people who applied for the 'Teacher in Space' program. The Challenger shuttle blew up 73 seconds after take off.
Does the space shuttle float when it falls from the moon into the ocean?
Firstly, the space shuttle does not not go to the moon. It remains in low-earth orbit. Also, it does not land in the ocean but makes an unpowered landing on a runway. The capsule of Challenger did sink after it fell into the ocean during its launch accident in 1986. The solid rocket boosters that fall from the shuttle during launch do float and are recovered. The Apollo command modules that did travel to the moon during the Apollo moon missions landed in the ocean and did float. Also, frogmen attached a flotation collar when they reached the capsule. The Space Shuttle never goes in the ocean. It lands at Kennedy Space Center in Florida or Edwards Air Force Base in California<br>The Space Shuttle has never been to the Moon.
