The Space Shuttle Challenger was delayed multiple times before its tragic launch on January 28, 1986. Initially, the launch was scheduled for November 1985 but faced several postponements due to technical issues, weather conditions, and scheduling conflicts. Overall, the Challenger experienced at least five significant delays before its final launch attempt.
There was a strong wind. Strong enough to get the Challenger blown off course.
The second launch of the space shuttle Challenger occurred on July 29, 1985.
The launch of NASA's Delta II rocket was delayed due to a technical issue with the rocket's second stage. The issue was related to a faulty temperature sensor, which needed to be replaced before the launch could proceed.
The Challenger was 74 seconds in-flight when it exploded.
The launch of the Hubble Space Telescope was delayed primarily due to technical challenges and issues with its design and construction. Originally scheduled for 1983, the launch faced setbacks related to problems with its optics and other components, which required extensive testing and adjustments. Additionally, the Challenger disaster in 1986 led to further postponements in the shuttle program, impacting Hubble's launch schedule. Ultimately, Hubble was successfully launched in April 1990.

NASA decided to launch the challenger because of the following reasons: Engineers were unable to provide enough evidence for the defect in o-rings.
The space shuttle Challenger launched for its maiden flight on April 4, 1983.
The Apollo 13 crew trained for several months before the actual launch into space. They underwent extensive simulations and training exercises to prepare for the mission.
Discovery was the next shuttle to launch. Over 2 years later.
