(mission patch) (crew members) http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/archives/sts-107.html


 * the mission was the Migrogravity Research Mission.
 * launched- January 16, 2003, 10:39 a.m.
 * landing- was planned for Feb. 1, but the crew was lost during reentry over East Texas around 9 a.m.
 * from this mission we learned- how to improve space shuttles and provided new insights into combustion and fire suppression that can not be gained on Earth, formation of zeolite crystals, developing anti cancer drugs, and other experiments. (I put this in red because I didn't know if you got this part yet!!)


 * STS-51L - Challenger**


 * launched- January 28, 1986, 11:30 a.m.
 * launched to send and restore the satellite Spartan, also other experiments
 * we did not learn anything from this mission because it only lasted 1 minute and 13 seconds after it was launched
 * the problem was that there was not a complete sealing action within the solid booster
