Christa McAuliffe was an American teacher and one of the seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. This is raw footage from NASA showing what some of her science experiment training looked like.

This footage has been properly processed in order to retain maximum quality for you all to utilize and enjoy. My post production process is below if you are interested.

These reels were scanned by NASA at 23.976 FPS and archived onto HDCAM tape at 59.94 FPS at 720p DNxHD. I have taken the HDCAM footage, reverse telecine the footage back to it's native 23.976 FPS, and upscaled it using Adobe After effects.

You will get better quality footage if you scan the original reels from the National Archives, but this is not an opportunity most people have. So I wanted to share this footage with the world.
