The seven astronauts who died in the Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986, were: Christa McAuliffe, a teacher and payload specialist; Francis R. Scobee, the mission commander; Michael J. Smith, the pilot; Ronald McNair, a mission specialist; Ellison Onizuka, a mission specialist; Judith Resnik, a mission specialist; and Gregory Jarvis, a payload specialist. The tragedy occurred just 73 seconds after liftoff due to the failure of an O-ring in cold weather, leading to the shuttle's breakup. Their loss had a profound impact on NASA and space exploration safety protocols.
