Space DisastersFailure to Launch. The tragedies and missteps in our attempts to conquer space. First moments are the most dangerous. From Sputnik to SpaceX, millions of litres of fuel ignites and sometimes explodes.Sat, Oct 1, 1:00 amSmithsonian Channel60 mins
Space DisastersWhen Weather Strikes. Space travel is fraught with nature's dangers. Lightning nearly scuttles Apollo 12. Solar flares threaten the space station. And a cold snap leads to the Challenger disaster.Sat, Oct 1, 12:00 amSmithsonian Channel60 mins
Space DisastersThe Human Factor. There's no escaping human error, no matter how good the technology. The tragedies and missteps in our attempt to conquer space - as well as the knowledge gained from these tragediesFri, Sept 30, 11:00 pmSmithsonian Channel60 mins

Space DisastersFixing on the Fly. Trouble-shooting in space can be a matter of life and death, from deep-space collisions to deadly chemical leaks. Astronauts are forced to innovate to survive.Sat, Sept 24, 1:00 amSmithsonian Channel60 mins
Space DisastersFailure at Re-Entry. Launching a spacecraft is hard, but US & Soviet disasters show that getting safely back to Earth is even harder. Engineers face huge challenges for a safe splashdown.Sat, Sept 24, 12:00 amSmithsonian Channel60 mins
Space DisastersFirst Generation. The US and Soviet Union's early space programmes face incredible engineering challenges, but catastrophic losses are converted into victories of engineering and the human spirit.Fri, Sept 23, 11:00 pmSmithsonian Channel60 mins
