A memorial marker in honor of the seven crew members of the Space Shuttle Challenger is located in Section 46 of Arlington National Cemetery. As people around the world watched in horror, the Challenger exploded into flames just after lift-off on January 28, 1986.

Remains of all seven crew members, recovered from the ocean floor, are buried beneath the monument.
