About 200 seconds after the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) break away from the NASA space shuttle parachutes are deployed at 15,000 feet and they land in the ocean. The SRBs usually land 140 miles off the coast of Florida where they float and are recovered by NASA. Once they are recovered they are refurbished and used on several other shuttle launches.

Challenger was the first shuttle to be destroyed on January 28, 1986. It was destroyed not by crashing, but because of an explosion caused by the rupture of it's fuel tank.
Each shuttle used 2 solid-fuel rocket boosters, which were designed to be recovered and re-used.
The space shuttle Challenger came apart on that date and subsequently crashed into the ocean. All seven astronauts were killed.
The booster rockets are jettisoned and land in the sea. They are recovered later.
