January 28, 1986. Officially it didn't explode. Seperation from the aft support strut caused the right solid rocket booster to impact the external tank, change the vehicles course dramatically, and cause disintegration of the orbiter and external tank due anomolous aerodynamic forces. The two solid rocket boosters continued powered flight for 37 seconds afterward.
