  • The Space Shuttle Challenger Mission (Flight STS-51L) was the 25th Space Shuttle mission and the 10th launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger. It was launched from Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:38am EST. This mission was highly publicized because it was the first time a school teacher was allowed to travel in space. Christa McAuliffe, a high school teacher from New Hampshire was to be the the first civilian in space. She was selected from more than 11,000 applicants. The crew of Space Shuttle Challenger consisted of 7 astronauts: - Francis R. Scobee - Mission Commander - Michael J. Smith - Pilot - Gregory B.

The payloads flown on Space Shuttle Challenger Mission 51-L included: - Tracking Data Relay Satellite-2 (TDRS-2): a NASA communications satellite that was to have been placed in a geosynchronous orbit with the aid of a booster called the Inertial Upper Stage. The satellite would have supported communications with the Space Shuttle and up to 23 other spacecraft. - Spartan satellite that would be deployed into orbit carrying special instruments for the observation of Halley's Comet. Spartan satellite was to have been deployed into low Earth orbit using the remote manipulator system. Halley's Comet Experiment Deployable, a free-flying module designed to observe tail and coma of Halleys comet with two ultraviolet spectrometers and two cameras.
