RU: 28 января 1986 года - космический корабль «Челленджер» в самом начале миссии STS-51L взорвался на 73-й секунде полёта, что привело к гибели всех семерых членов экипажа. . EN: On January 28, 1986, the NASA Space Shuttle orbiter undertaking mission STS-51-L and the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-099) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members: five NASA astronauts, one payload specialist, and a civilian school teacher. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 a.m. EST (16:39 UTC). The disintegration of the vehicle began after a joint in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The failure was caused by the failure of O-ring seals used in the joint that were not designed to handle the unusually cold conditions that existed at this launch. The seals' failure caused a breach in the SRB joint, 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. . #challenger #challengerdisaster #spaceshuttle #space #космос #челленджер #мылюбим80е #80shistory #история80х #astronauts #astronaut #космонавт https://www.instagram.com/p/B72oedcldO-/?igshid=1qvhcd7i84326

IMC MEDIA NERWORK Major Malfunction: Revisiting Challenger

Fears of such accidents may make some think NASA isn't worth the money put into it, but this is shortsighted. Without proper funding NASA cannot ensure it can safely do its job. A Penny4NASA can help us reach the stars despite all the dangers. Let Congress know if you support that: http://www.penny4nasa.org/take-action
