The purpose of this expedition was to test for NASA a meter called a Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter (TEPC): testing at different altitudes (17,000 ft, 19,000 ft and 21,000 ft) would reveal how people’s bodies would be affected, including the way bodily tissues behaved, when struck by radiation, and this was important for the planning of long duration space missions.", "profile_image": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/karl2520g.2520henize_image_20181129204738.jpg", "profile_image_thumbnail": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/255bauto255d__image_thumbnail_20240305185603.jpeg", "wiki": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Gordon_Henize", "flights": [ { "id": "ad18f1d5-0cf8-49a1-a58b-ed36bee7af79", "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/launch/ad18f1d5-0cf8-49a1-a58b-ed36bee7af79/?format=api", "slug": "space-shuttle-challenger-ov-099-sts-51-f", "name": "Space Shuttle Challenger / OV-099 | STS-51-F", "status": { "id": 3, "name": "Launch Successful", "abbrev": "Success", "description": "The launch vehicle successfully inserted its payload(s) into the target orbit(s)." }, "last_updated": "2024-06-13T18:55:00Z", "net": "1985-07-29T21:00:00Z", "window_end": "1985-07-29T21:00:00Z", "window_start": "1985-07-29T21:00:00Z", "net_precision": { "id": 0, "name": "Second", "abbrev": "SEC", "description": "The T-0 is accurate to the second." }, "probability": null, "weather_concerns": null, "holdreason": "", "failreason": "", "hashtag": null, "launch_service_provider": { "id": 192, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/agencies/192/?format=api", "name": "Lockheed Space Operations Company", "type": "Commercial" }, "rocket": { "id": 308, "configuration": { "id": 493, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/config/launcher/493/?format=api", "name": "Space Shuttle", "family": "", "full_name": "Space Shuttle", "variant": "" } }, "mission": { "id": 649, "name": "STS-51-F", "description": "STS-51-F was the nineteenth flight of the shuttle program and the eighth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger.

The orbiter was launched and landed nine times before breaking apart 73 seconds into its tenth mission, STS-51-L, on January 28, 1986, resulting in the death of all seven crew members, including a civilian school teacher. It was the first of two shuttles to be destroyed in flight, the other being Columbia, in 2003. The accident led to a two-and-a-half-year grounding of the shuttle fleet; flights resumed in 1988, with STS-26 flown by Discovery.
