The first Space Shuttle launch from Launch Pad 39-B was STS-51L on January 28, 1986. However STS-51L ended in disaster when the space shuttle Challenger disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean. A total of 53 space shuttle missions have launched from pad 39-B, although no more are planned in the future. In the future, pad 39-B is planned to be used for Ares I launches.
