∙ 12y agoThe explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger during take off.
Space Shuttle Challenger failed during launch. Space Shuttle Columbia failed during reentry.
None of them crashed. Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart in 1986 due to a SRB explosion. Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart during reentry in 2003 due to a whole in it's left wing from foam from the ET hitting it during launch.
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.
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, shortly after launch. It was a devastating accident that resulted in the loss of all seven crew members on board.

The O-ring on the solid rocket booster did not expand enough during the launch due to the outside temperatures being to cold and ultimately conbustible material leaked and ignited the fuel causing a mass explosion

The Crew of the Challenger Shuttle Mission in 1986. The Challenger shuttle crew, of seven astronauts--including the specialties of pilot, aerospace engineers, and scientists-- died tragically in the explosion of their spacecraft during the launch of STS-51-L from the Kennedy Space Center about 11:40 a.m., EST, on January 28, 1986.The Shuttle made Seventy Seconds in the air Before Exploding due to Cold weather and fuel Leaking issues.The Fuel leakage caused several problems in the Right fuel Tank.
The Shuttle Challenger was the first space shuttle to have a major disaster. It disintegrated during the launch process on 28 January 1986, and all hands were lost.
An O-Ring failed during the launch causing it to explode, or disintegrate.
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded during launch on January 28th 1986 killing 7 crew members.
First Space Shuttle to be lostChallenger was the first shuttle to be destroyed on January 28, 1986 during launch. Orbiter vehicle Space Shuttle Challenger was the second orbiter to join NASA's Space Shuttle fleet, with official designation, Orbiter Vehicle 099 (OV-099). Challenger was named after the British Naval research vessel HMS Challenger that sailed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans during the 1870's, forever changing the course of scientific history and laying the foundation of the science of oceanography.
Its maiden flight was on April 4, 1983. Challenger exploded during launch on its tenth mission to space, on January 26, 1986.
