What time did the space shuttle challenger blow up?
The space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff at 11:39 a.m. Eastern Time on January 28, 1986.
What are the names of the two space shuttles that malfunctioned and exploded?
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.
How did challenger 1986 explode?
The Challenger space shuttle exploded on January 28, 1986, due to the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters. The cold temperatures at the time of the launch caused the O-ring to fail and led to the catastrophic accident.
How many time did Sally Ride take to space?
Sally Ride went to space twice. Her first mission was on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1983, and her second was also on Challenger in 1984. She was the first American woman in space.

What time did space shuttle Columbia explode over Texas?
The space shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas on February 1, 2003 at approximately 9:00 a.m. Central Time as it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.
What was the cause of the challenger expolsion?
The Challenger Explosion was caused by an external tank explosion. The space shuttle broke apart due to gasses mixing in the external fuel tank. The shuttle exploded and the space shuttle was torn apart.
When did Sally Ride go to space the second time?
Sally Ride went to space for the second time on October 5, 1984, as a mission specialist on the space shuttle Challenger during mission STS-41-G.
How did the explosion of the challenger space ship happen?
The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle in 1986 was caused by the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters. The O-ring failure was due to unusually cold temperatures at the time of launch, which compromised the O-ring's ability to seal properly and ultimately led to the catastrophic explosion.
On what date did the Challenger explode?
Challenger, U.S. space shuttle. It exploded (Jan. 28, 1986) 73 seconds into its tenth flight, killing all seven crew members, including the first civilian in space, schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. The disaster was caused by the faulty design of a gasket (the O-ring seal). As dramatically demonstrated by Richard http://www.answers.com/topic/richard-feynman, a member of the presidential commission appointed to investigate the accident, the elastic O-ring did not respond as expected because of the cold temperature (30°F/-1°C) at launch time. (At a news conference, Feynman illustrated the loss of elasticity by dropping an O-ring into a glass of cold water.) As a result of the explosion, the United States did not send astronauts into space for almost three years as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration redesigned a number of features of the space shuttle.
What time of day did the Challenger explode?
8:56 am on Tuesday Jan. 28 1986
