They didn't die during the blowup, they died when the part that they were in hit the water so hard that anybody could survive-
There were seven astronauts onboard the space shuttle Challenger when it tragically exploded shortly after its launch on January 28, 1986.
The Challenger astronauts survived for approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds after the shuttle broke apart in mid-air on January 28, 1986. The crew did not survive the impact with the ocean.
They were found in the crew cabin on the Atlantic Ocean floor off the coast of Florida.
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.
All of the bodies were recovered, but it was never determined how the astronauts died. It is assumed they died due to the impact with the ocean, and not the explosion itself.
Seven. The max crew is eight.

Sadly none of the astronauts in the Challenger at the time of explosion lived. The last thing that was heard from the shuttle was commander Dick Scobee saying "Roger. Go for throttle up."
Yes, the bodies of the Challenger crew were found after the space shuttle disaster on January 28, 1986. Recovery efforts in the days following the explosion located the crew compartment, and the remains of the seven astronauts were ultimately recovered from the Atlantic Ocean. The investigation into the accident revealed critical insights about the failure of the O-rings in the solid rocket boosters.

There was a faulty O ring which lead to that explosion that killed all the astronauts on board.
No, there are no publicly available photos of the Challenger crew's bodies. Following the tragic disaster of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986, recovery operations were conducted with great care and respect for the astronauts. The remains were treated with dignity, and the privacy of the families was prioritized, leading to a decision not to release any images.
