Explanation:
    
 Space Shuttle Challenger jumps off the launch pad      
 in 1985 to begin a successful mission. The    
 main purpose of     
     
 this mission was to test a new space based     
 laboratory named     
     
 Spacelab 2.  Spacelab 2 takes advantage of the     
 effectively weightless conditions in orbit      
 to carry out experiments in areas such as astronomy, physics,    
 life science, materials science, and atmospheric physics.     
 Challenger and her crew were lost in 1986 when a booster failure     
 resulted in the breakup of the vehicle.     
 Previously, Challenger and her crews flew nine successful    
 Space Shuttle missions and made significant contributions to     
 America's scientific growth.
