McAuliffe and Morgan, Teachers-in-Space, 1985

Sharon Christa McAuliffe (left), from Concord, New Hampshire, and Barbara R. Morgan of McCall, Idaho, have been named NASA Teacher-in-Space Project prime and backup payload specialists, respectively, for the first citizen observer position of the STS program, scheduled for a Challenger flight in January 1986. Sharon Christa Corrigan McAuliffe (September 2, 1948 - January 28, 1986) was an American teacher from Concord, New Hampshire, and was one of the seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. In 1985, she was selected from more than 11,000 applicants to participate in the NASA Teacher in Space Project and was scheduled to become the first teacher in space. As a member of mission STS-51-L, she was planning to conduct experiments and teach two lessons from Space Shuttle Challenger. On January 28, 1986, the shuttle broke apart 73 seconds after launch. After her death, schools and scholarships were named in her honor, and in 2004 she was posthumously awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Barbara Radding Morgan (born November 28, 1951) is an American teacher and a former NASA astronaut. She participated in the Teacher in Space program as the backup to Christa McAuliffe for the ill-fated STS-51-L mission of the Space Shuttle Challenger. She then trained as a Mission Specialist, and flew on STS-118 in August 2007.
