No, the bodies of the Challenger astronauts were not intact when recovered. The crew members perished when the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986. Investigations revealed that the crew cabin remained mostly intact during the explosion, but the bodies were subjected to extreme forces and conditions, resulting in significant damage. The recovery efforts focused on retrieving the remains and personal effects, which were ultimately returned to their families.
