The Space Shuttle Challenger was launched as part of NASA's STS-51-L mission to deploy a communication satellite. However, the launch resulted in a tragic disaster as the shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986, due to O-ring failure in one of the solid rocket boosters. This led to the loss of all seven crew members onboard.
