Did it explode during launch or reentry?
Challenger exploded during launch; Columbiaexploded during re-entry.
Did nasa build the Apollo 16 aircraft?
NASA did not build the aircraft for the Apollo missions. Instead, NASA used rockets and spacecraft to send astronauts to the moon during the Apollo program. The Apollo 16 mission used a Saturn V rocket to launch the spacecraft carrying the astronauts.
How many astronauts were killed throughout the Apollo missions?
Three: Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.
How many g's during Apollo?
During Apollo missions, astronauts experienced forces of up to 4–5 times Earth's gravity (4-5 G's) during launch and re-entry, while in a sitting position. At other times, such as in microgravity during orbit, they experienced weightlessness.
What was the Apollo spacecraft that exploded on the launch pad?
The Apollo spacecraft that exploded on the launch pad was Apollo 1. The tragic accident occurred on January 27, 1967 during a pre-launch test. The crew members aboard, Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, lost their lives in the fire.
Did the first astronauts have space suits?
Yes, a pressure suit (otherwise known as a space suit) is a fundamental safety feature used on almost all space flights. The Soviets sent a few people up without one, but the United States requires that all its astronauts wear their pressure suit, including their helmet, during launch and reentry. The only U.S. crew that did not wear their helmets during reentry was the Apollo 7 crew. All 3 of them contracted severe head colds while in space. They felt their eardrums might burst due to sinus pressure if they had their helmets on during reentry. NASA administrators did not agree. None of the Apollo 7 astronauts ever flew again

Several people died, but none during an actual mission. Three astronauts died during a fire in the Apollo 1 capsule during a test launch in 1967.

Did any astronaut die in the Apollo program?
Apollo 1- a launch pad test resulted in a fire in the space capsule exacerbated by the fact that, at that time, NASA had a high oxygen atmosphere in space capsules, which greatly intensified the fire. The 3 astronauts in the capsule were killed, Grissom, White and Chaffee.They were the only Astronauts lost in the Apollo program.
What was the Apollo spacecraft that exploded on the launch pad?

Who lauched Apollo 1?
Apollo 1 was never launched, it was destroyed by fire, killing the three astronauts aboard, during a routine ground-based test months before their scheduled launch.
Which Apollo mission ended in tragedy?
It was Apollo 13 on the way to the moon when it exploded.You can also say Apollo 1 which hasd a fire, killing three astronauts.
What year did the 3 astronauts die in Apollo 1?
The three astronauts, Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, died in a fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, while preparing for the Apollo 1 mission.
Which Apollo spacecraft blew up on the launchpad?
There was a fire in Apollo 1 which killed the 3 astronauts.
