Challenger
On January 28, 1986 America lost the Space Shuttle Challenger and her seven-member crew 73 seconds into the 25th Space Shuttle mission.
As a memorial to the events of over 20 years ago, Spacecraft Films presents a comprehensive 3-DVD chronicle of the final mission of Challenger - STS-51L.
With over 12 hours of material, including an in-depth original timeline examination of the accident, you'll own the most complete collection ever assembled on the STS-51L mission, compiled from NASA holdings, National Archives material, and material from the Reagan Library.
From the over 2 1/2 hours of pre-flight and training footage, to each of the key pad camera views, to the first press conference announcing the accident to Reagan's speech the night of the accident you'll experience the last flight of Challenger as it happened.
From key press conferences and discussions as the investigation unfolded through key testimony from the Rogers Commission, you'll understand what went wrong and how.
As Spacecraft Films continuess its unique chronicle of America in space, the Challenger set marks a sad but important chapter with rare material telling the comprehensive story of STS-51L.
STS109 was the last complete mission by Columbia with servicing the Hubble Telescope.
