Summary

Description
English: Destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger. At about 76 seconds, fragments of the Orbiter can be seen tumbling against a background of fire, smoke and vaporized propellants from the External Tank. The left Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) flies rampant, still thrusting. The reddish-brown cloud envelops the disintegrating Orbiter. The colour is indicative of the nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer propellant in the Orbiter Reaction Control System.
