Summary

DescriptionChallenger explosion.jpg
Català: Explosió de la nau espacial Challenger poc després del seu llançament.
Čeština: Raketoplán Challenger explodoval krátce po odletu.
Русский: Космический челнок «Челленджер» взрывается вскоре после запуска.
English:
  • Short Description: Space Shuttle Challenger explodes shortly after take-off.
  • Full Description: On January 28, 1986, the Challenger space shuttle and her seven-member crew were lost when a ruptured O-ring in the right solid rocket booster caused an explosion soon after launch. This photograph, taken a few seconds after the accident, shows the main engines and solid rocket booster exhaust plumes entwined around a ball of gas from the external tank. Because shuttle launches had become almost routine after 24 successful missions, those watching the shuttle launch in person and on television found the sight of the explosion especially shocking and difficult to believe until NASA confirmed the accident.
