US space agency NASA Friday paused to remember the deadly explosion of the space shuttle Challenger this day 25 years ago.
The shuttle broke up just after launch Jan 28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts on board. The disaster was watched on live television by many Americans, including schoolchildren tuned in to see the first teacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe travel into space.
A memorial service was planned at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
