NASA will honor members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery, including the crews of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, during the agency’s annual Day of Remembrance on Thursday, Jan. 30.
Among those honored each year is astronaut Ellison Onizuka, part of the seven-member crew of Challenger, which exploded after liftoff on Jan. 28, 1986. He became the first Asian American in space during a previous shuttle mission.
