The name of the crew capsule of NASA's Constellation program?
The Name of the Crew Exploration Vehicle is Orion. It will will hold four people.
Did they find the space shuttle challengers capsule?
The Space Shuttle is not a capsule, it's a spacecraft. They found many pieces of the Challenger space shuttle, including the crew compartment.
What was the highlight of Apollo 1?
There was a fire in the capsule while the rocket was still on the launch pad, which killed all three crew members.
Why was the space shuttle program cancelled?
The Space Shuttle program lasted 30 years, one of the longest space programs in history. The completion of construction of the International Space Station led The United States Congress to direct NASA to focus it's efforts beyond Low Earth Orbit. Initially this took the form of the Constellation program which was later canceled with only the Orion, later named Multi-Purpose Crew Module retained from that program.
When did the Apollo 1 program start?
Apollo 1 wasn't a program, it was a mission scheduled to launch in February, 1967. However, the capsule caught fire on January 28, 1967 and killed the crew. The first Apollo launched on October 11, 1968.

Why didn't they have a gps LOCATING device on the challenger?
Would not have helped. The blast separated the craft into too many pieces. Even one in the crew capsule (which survived the blast) would not have helped. The black boxes in the crew capsule recorded all the details of the flight up to impact with the water which crushed the crew capsule, killed the crew, and interrupted the crew capsule backup power on which the black boxes (and any locating GPS if present) were operated. The crew capsule was located after weeks of analyzing radar tracking data, filtering out small debris pieces plus tracking camera footage then computing its freefall trajectory.

What project was after Apollo?
Directly following the end of the Apollo program was the Apollo Soyuz Test Program (ASTP) which, using Apollo flight hardware, performed the first international rendezvous and docking when the ASTP crew docked with a Russian Soyuz capsule. The next true program, one that required all new hardware, was the Shuttle Transport System, (STS). Also known as the Space Shuttle.
