Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit loving yellow underbelly flies) are the best examined flies in the world. They have been critical to our understanding of genetics and the actions of genes on morphology and mutations. They were the first insects to be taken into space by the shuttle Columbia whichregrettably burnt up on reentry due to a hole in the leading edge of a wing. Some flies survived the accident when found in the debris.

the exosphere.
The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster happened on February 1, 2003.
the space shuttle takes off like a rocket flies around the earth like a bird and lands like an airoplane
Fruit flies have been sent to space for studies and have survived in space conditions. However, some fruit flies may have died during experiments due to various factors such as stress, radiation exposure, or lack of appropriate food and water.
Space Shuttle Challenger exploded
The space shuttle flies in space primarily within the thermosphere, a layer of Earth's atmosphere that extends from about 80 to 600 kilometers (50 to 370 miles) above the surface. In this region, the air is extremely thin, allowing the shuttle to operate in a near-vacuum environment. The shuttle's missions often involved low Earth orbit, where it could conduct experiments, deploy satellites, and service the International Space Station.
