In the aftermath of the Challenger STS-51L tragedy, the crew’s families came together, firmly committed to carrying on the spirit of their loved ones by continuing their education mission. In April 1986, they created the Challenger Center for Space Science Education. To date, Challenger Center has reached more than 6 million students globally and continues to inspire hundreds of thousands of students every year.
