Best Answer

No space shuttles have exploded in space. Challenger disintegrated during launch and Columbia during the re-entry process. Neither were in space at the time.

challenger and Columbia

The Challenger shuttle itself did not explode. The explosion was of the massive booster rockets lifting it into Space, after a seal failed on one, allowing fuel to leak and ignite. The shuttle remained fairly intact although very badly damaged, and I believe was subsequently recovered from the sea-bed.
