The Challenger (l986) and the Columbia (2003) disasters. Both had mixed gender crews and were all-hands disasters- no survivors. These were the only underway accidents in the Space Shuttle program- one occuring in the ascent phase- rocket booster exploded- and the other in the Descent or re-entry phase. Some would argue, strictly speaking , neither happened in interplanetary or even orbital space ! still, they happened. the Apollo l fire incident involving the deaths of three astronauts- happened on the ground during as systems test of life-support geat- again not actual flight- here it happened on the ground.
