Shocking Facts About the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster
Every American who lived through the '80s remembers the Challenger explosion. But what happened to cause the famous national tragedy? How could such a catastrophe happen when NASA so meticulously checks and double checks all the equipment at their disposal?
Even with all the risks, astronauts gladly put their lives on the line for decades in the pursuit of reaching for the stars. The Challenger tragedy was not the first or the last catastrophe to befall NASA. The exploratory organization has not forgotten the sacrifices of the seven crewmembers who died on January 28, 1986: Francis "Dick" Scobee, Mike Smith, Judy Resnik, Ellison Onizuka, Ron McNair, Greg Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe.

Space Shuttle - The Challenger Disaster
On January 28, 1986, the NASA shuttle orbiter mission STS-51-L and the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-99) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members, which consisted of five NASA astronauts and two Payload Specialists. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 EST (16:39 UTC). Disintegration of the vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The O-ring was not designed to fly under unusually cold conditions as in this launch. Its failure caused a breach in the SRB joint it sealed, allowing pressurized burning gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB aft field joint attachment hardware ...

Shuttle Challenger Explosion [New Copy Found; Better Quality]
In July 2017 What You Haven't Seen launched by publishing the complete surveillance camera footage from the crash of Asiana 214 at San Francisco International Airport. In the time since, I am proud to have published hundreds of other significant exclusives, but despite all that, I never thought that I would find this.
CNN has a copy of their Challenger launch broadcast footage. It's available on CNN's own YouTube channel, and it understandably has millions of views. CNN's upload is a 360p video whose content is similar to what you see here — with three major differences: (1) this version is of substantially higher quality, (2) this version doesn't have any CNN branding, and (3) this version continues NASA's feed longer than CNN showed on air.

Space Shuttle Challenger Accident Investigation (1986)
NASA documentary detailing the events surrounding the loss of OV-099, Space Shuttle Challenger, shortly after the launch of the 25th flight of the Space Transportation System, Mission STS-51L, on 28 January, 1986, and the subsequent investigation into the loss of the vehicle and its crew of seven. The investigation shows that the Solid Rocket Booster field joints were of an insufficiently fault-tolerant design and when the vehicle was launched at below-normal temperatures, hot exhaust gasses leaked on ignition, damaging the integrity of the field joint, leading to a breach in the external tank and destruction of the orbiter.

If you Google “Teacher in Space,” Christa McAuliffe appears. How did she get to go? Well, in 1984 President Ronald Reagan announced the Teacher in Space Project, a NASA program meant to honor teachers while simultaneously inspiring students, getting them more excited about STEM and space. The program called for bringing teachers into space as non-astronaut workers.
Around 11,000 teachers applied, but NASA accepted just two. The aforementioned McAuliffe, a high school social studies teacher from Concord, New Hampshire. And Barbara Morgan, an elementary school teacher from Idaho, who would serve as McAuliffe’s backup.
Even in space McAuliffe would be required to teach- NASA made her make up lesson plans to present aboard the Space Shuttle.
Space Shuttle? Yes, that’s how she would get to space. Space shuttles are rocket-launched spacecrafts that are able to be reused and can land like an unpowered aircraft. NASA developed space shuttles to make more routine trips back and forth between the earth’s surface and Low Earth Orbit. NASA built six space shuttles, the first one launching in 1981 and the last one in 2011.
One of those six was called the Challenger. That one was the one McAuliffe got to be on. STS-51-L, as the mission was called, was the 25th of the Space Shuttle program. It was mostly a routine mission meant to launch a satellite, but part of what the crew was gonna do was check out Halley’s Comet for six days. The commander was Dick Scobee, pilot Michael J. Smith, the mission specialists Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, and Ronald McNair, and payload specialist Gregory Jarvis. McAuliffe was also classified as a payload specialist.
January 28, 1986. Cape Canaveral, Florida. A cold and icy morning. Liftoff was delayed, in fact, due to all the ice on the launch pad. Around 17 percent of all Americans were watching live on television, mostly due to the presence of McAuliffe, who had trained for months for this moment. At 11:38 AM local time, everything looked normal as Mission Control told Scobee “Challenger, go with throttle up.” However, just 73 seconds after liftoff, at an altitude of around 46,000 feet, or 14,000 meters, the Challenger began to disintegrate and all communication with the crew was lost. The shuttle had no escape system, so the crew remained trapped inside. Americans back on the surface watched in horror after witnessing what looked like an explosion, and as major chunks of the shuttle orbiter fell back to the earth.
Meanwhile, the crew was still alive inside. The fuel tank exploded, but the crew compartment was still intact. They got as high as 12 miles, or 19 km above the surface. At some point they fell back to the earth, and less than 3 minutes later hit the water at approximately 207 mph, or 333 km per hour. Upon impact, all seven crew members immediately died. It all happened so quickly.

On January 28, 1986, the NASA shuttle orbiter mission STS-51-L and the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-99) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members, which consisted of five NASA astronauts and two Payload Specialists. The spacecraft disintegrated over the
Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 EST (16:39 UTC). Disintegration of the vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The O-ring was not designed to fly under unusually cold conditions as in this launch. Its failure caused a breach in the SRB joint it sealed, allowing pressurized burning gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB aft field joint attachment hardware and external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft field joint attachment and the structural failure of the external tank. Aerodynamic forces broke up the orbiter.
The crew compartment and many other vehicle fragments were eventually recovered from the ocean floor after a lengthy search and recovery operation. The exact timing of the death of the crew is unknown; several crew members are known to have survived the initial breakup of the spacecraft. The shuttle had no escape system,[1][2] and the impact of the crew compartment with the ocean surface was too violent to be survivable.[3]
The disaster resulted in a 32-month hiatus in the shuttle program and the formation of the Rogers Commission, a special commission appointed by United States President Ronald Reagan to investigate the accident. The Rogers Commission found NASA's organizational culture and decision-making processes had been key contributing factors to the accident,[4] with the agency violating its own safety rules. NASA managers had known since 1977 that contractor Morton Thiokol's design of the SRBs contained a potentially catastrophic flaw in the O-rings, but they had failed to address this problem properly. NASA managers also disregarded warnings (an example of "go fever") from engineers about the dangers of launching posed by the low temperatures of that morning, and failed to adequately report these technical concerns to their superiors.
As a result of the disaster, the Air Force decided to cancel its plans to use the Shuttle for classified military satellite launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, deciding to use the Titan IV instead.
Approximately 17 percent of Americans witnessed the launch live because of the presence of Payload Specialist Christa McAuliffe, who would have been the first teacher in space. Media coverage of the accident was extensive: one study reported that 85 percent of Americans surveyed had heard the news within an hour of the accident.[5] The Challenger disaster has been used as a case study in many discussions of engineering safety and workplace ethics.

This is a direct copy of NASA's broadcast feed. It was saved by NASA, and at some point a copy was transferred to the United States Geological Survey on a VHS tape. This video is a digitization of that tape; as far as I know, this is the first time it is being shown publicly.

In July 2017 What You Haven't Seen launched by publishing the complete surveillance camera footage from the crash of Asiana 214 at San Francisco International Airport. In the time since, I am proud to have published hundreds of other significant exclusives, but despite all that, I never thought that I would find this.

NASA documentary detailing the events surrounding the loss of OV-099, Space Shuttle Challenger, shortly after the launch of the 25th flight of the Space Transportation System, Mission STS-51L, on 28 January, 1986, and the subsequent investigation into the loss of the vehicle and its crew of seven. The investigation shows that the Solid Rocket Booster field joints were of an insufficiently fault-tolerant design and when the vehicle was launched at below-normal temperatures, hot exhaust gasses leaked on ignition, damaging the integrity of the field joint, leading to a breach in the external tank and destruction of the orbiter.
