collectSPACE Northrop Grumman names Cygnus cargo craft for fallen Challenger commanderThe commander of the ill-fated flight of space shuttle Challenger is being remembered 40 years after his first spaceflight with a commercial spacecraft bearing his name. NASA astronaut Francis R. "Dick" Scobee, who flew twice on Challenger — first as its pilot in 1984 and then as commander two years later — is the namesake for Northrop Grumman's 21st cargo vehicle. ![](http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-070124f-lg.jpg) | |
