The Challenger launched on its first voyage in 1983. It completed the mission
of first spacewalk of the Space Shuttle program and was the first satellite
in the Tracking and Data Relay System constellation. It was the first orbiter
to launch and land at night on mission STS-8 and Challenger was the first to
carry two U.S. female astronauts on mission STS 41-G. It made the first Space
Shuttle landing at Kennedy Space Center. After nine successful missions, the
Challenger launched on STS-51L on January 28, 1986. 73 seconds into the mission,
the Challenger exploded. The loss of Challenger did not negate the work of NASA
but encouraged it to continue to better mankind in space flight and in life
on Earth.
