The nylon banners and embroidered emblems, packaged in watertight pouches, were intended for NASA employees and other supporters of the 51-L mission, to be distributed after Challenger and its seven-member crew returned from orbiting the Earth for six days. Instead, 73 seconds into the flight, a problem with a solid rocket booster resulted in the Challenger breaking apart.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-012816b-challenger-flags-patches-30years.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-012816a-lg.jpg" width="400" height="265" border="0"></a></center>
