Space Shuttle Challenger

The Space Shuttle Challenger was the second Space Shuttle to be destroyed in 1986. It was used as a test bed for the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) and used for numerous satellite launches. The remains of the Space Shuttle are now on exhibit at the NASA Museum in New York City, New York, and the University of New York. It is thought to have been the first time a Space Shuttle has been used for a mission in space. The first mission was the first to carry out a mission that was accomplished in 1985.
