shuttle flights and more shuttle
crews and, yes, more volunteers,
more civilians, more teachers in
space.”
He added: “Nothing stops here.”
NASA delayed its announcement
that there appeared to be no survi
vors until it had conducted search-
and-rescue efforts. Even before
Moore’s statement, it seemed impos
sible anyone could have survived
such a cataclysm.
The crew included McAuliffe and
six NASA astronauts: commander
Francis R. Scobee, 46, pilot Michael
J. Smith, 40; Judith Resnik, 36; Ron
ald E. McNair, 35; Ellison S. Oni-
zuka, 39; and Gregory B. Jarvis, 41.
“I regret that I have to report that
based on very preliminary searches
of the ocean where the Challenger
impacted this morning, these
searches have not revealed any evi
dence that the crew of Challenger
survived,” Moore, NASA associate
administrator, told a midafternoon
news conference.
Col. John Shults, director of De
fense Department contingency oper
ations here, said a search armada of
helicopters, ships and planes had
spotted several pieces of debris float
ing in the Atlantic.
The president watched video re
plays in “stunned silence,” and sent
Vice President George Bush here to
convey his sympathies to the families
of the crew.
Glenn said, “I guess we always
knew there would be a day like this.”
A congressional investigation was
immediately announced, but many
lawmakers were quick to express
support for the nation’s manned
space effort.
Lost along with the $1.2 billion
spacecraft were a $ 100-million satel
lite that was to have become an im
portant part of NASA’s space-based
shuttle communications network
and a smaller $10 million payload
that was to have studied Halley’s
comet.
It was the second disaster to strike
NASA’s pioneering space program.
In January 1967 astronauts Virgil
“Gus” Grissom, Edward White and
Roger Chaffee burned to death
while preparing for an Apollo flight
when a fire destroyed their capsule
during a training drill.
Four Soviet cosmonauts have died
in space accidents — one in 1967
and three in 1971.

power. “Roger, go at throttle up,”
said Mike Smith, the pilot.
Seconds later, an explosion fol
lowed by the devastating space age
fireball.
At Mission Control, there was si
lence.
Debris cut white swatches through
the sky, falling into the Atlantic
Ocean. One of the booster rockets
was seen floating down on its par
achute.
Spectators, including the parents
of McAuliffe and family members of
the six astronauts, watched in help
less horror in the frosty fields at
Kennedy Space Center.
“Obviously a major malfunction,”
was the first word from NASA, fol
lowing seconds of agonized silence.
As Challenger fell in pieces, de
bris was so heavy that for several
minutes NASA directed rescue craft
to stay out of the area.
Launch, scheduled for 9:38 a.m.
EST, was delayed two hours while
officials analyzed the possibility that
foot-long launch-pad icicles might
cause problems. But after liftoff, at
1 1:38 a.m., the NASA commentator,
Nesbitt, reported system were nor
mal.
“Three engines running nor
mally,” he noted. “Three good fuel
cells. Three good APUs (auxiliary
power units). Velocity 2,057 feet per
second (1400 miles per hour), alti
tude 4.3 nautical miles (4.9 statute
miles), downrange distance 3 nauti
cal miles (3.4 statute miles).
“Engines throttling up, three en
gines now 104 percent (normal).”
Then the final, exchange with pi
lot Smith. Then the explosion.
NASA cameras were trained on
the spaceship. While slow-speed re
plays did not pinpoint the source of
the explosion, from one angle it
seemed it might have come at one of
the boosters, the two rockets that
provide the ship its initial boost to
space before peeling away to Earth.
Stressing that he was only specu
lating, Glenn said, “What I thought I
saw was the first flame coming out of
the solid (rocket booster).”
After that initial blast, the slow
motion showed an explosion of the
huge external fuel tank, which car
ried half-a-million gallons of super
cold, super-volatile liquid oxygen
and hydrogren. Challenger,
dwarfed by the fuel tank, burst into
pieces which rained into the Atlantic
for 45 minutes.
The NASA administrator, Wil
liam R. Graham, was briefing mem
bers of Congress on the agency bud
get and watched the tragedy on
television. Two members who had
flown recent missions, Sen. Jake
Garn and Rep. William Nelson, D-
Fla., expressed shock.
Garn, clearly shaken, emphasized
his belief that “We should proceed
with the program, and that would
include the civilians in space pro
gram as well.”
The Tuesday launch was to be the
second of 15 this year — by far the
most ambitious schedule in NASA’s
four-year-plus shuttle program.
Garn said the obvious —that opera
tions must be frozen for as long as it
takes NASA to investigate and un
derstand what went wrong.
Challenger, the second of the
agency’s four ships to fly, was mak
ing its 10th flight, more than any of
the other shuttles.
NASA has rescue plans should a
shuttle be forced to land in the
ocean, but there are no ejection seats
that might propel an astronaut from
safety in the event of mid-air disas
ter.
Challenger had risen spectac
ularly off a brand new launch pad at
1 1:38 a.m. EST, after a series of
weather and technical delays, and
was climbing smoothly trailing a
700-foot pillar of fire when the ex
plosion hit.
Half an hour after the explosion,
a wisp of white smoke, blown by up
per winds, still marked the path of
the shuttle’s wreckage.
The explosion occurred about the
time Challenger was to enter a pe
riod of maximum aerodynamic pres
sure when wind and other atmo
spheric conditions would place the
maximum force on the outside of
the vehicle.
The purpose of the mission was to
release ana retrieve one satellite to
study Halley’s comet and launch an
other to become part of the space-
based shuttle communications net
work.

McKenzie could not say whether
the board is leaning toward someone
from within the System.
“I cannot state that because we’re
not,” McKenzie said. “We’re going to
seek the most qualified person.”
The search committee, which also
includes Regents Henry Cisneros
and John Mobley, hired Ward How

help with the search.
