Two space shuttles have exploded during missions. Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff in 1986, and Columbia disintegrated upon reentry in 2003.
The space shuttle Challenger blew up apon leaving the launch pad because of a frozen o-ring, and the space shuttle Columbia blew up upon rentry because of a broken heat-shield.
The two space shuttles that tragically exploded were the Challenger in 1986 and the Columbia in 2003. Both disasters resulted in the loss of the entire crew on board.

The shuttles used by NASA were the Space Shuttle orbiters, which were reusable spacecraft that could transport astronauts and cargo to space. The Space Shuttle program operated from 1981 to 2011 and included iconic shuttles such as Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavour. The shuttles were key in building and servicing the International Space Station.
The rocket that takes space shuttles into space recorded speeds f up to 40,000kmph. The space shuttles' rockets record up to 25,000kmph. There are also slower speed rockets.
