Five notable space disasters include the Challenger disaster in 1986, when the Space Shuttle broke apart shortly after launch, resulting in the deaths of all seven crew members. The Columbia disaster in 2003 occurred during re-entry, leading to the loss of all seven astronauts onboard. The Apollo 1 incident in 1967 involved a cabin fire during a pre-launch test, killing three astronauts. The Soyuz 1 crash in 1967 resulted from a parachute failure, killing the sole cosmonaut on board.
