Space Shuttle Columbia is the infamous disaster that occurred on 1st Feb,2003 after Space shuttle Columbia Disintegrated during the re entry.
The Space shuttle was doomed at the launch itself when one insulator foam broke off and hit the left wing. This hit was to prove catastrophic during the re entry, leading to the break up of the shuttle.
Given above is the Chart of Launch.
Lagna is Meena, and lord Jup is exalted but retrograde. Some classics compare exalted but retrograde planets to act like being on Debilitation.
LL Jup though looking well placed, is under heavy affliction when enquired in detail. It is aspected by all the malefics. From Jaimini Angle - SA RA aspecting from Taurus, MA-KE from Scorpio. Parasari - Sa from Taurus, Sun from Cap.
9th House of Bhagya is also under affliction. The terrible combo of SA-RA, the 12th lord and co lords, have a direct aspect. 8th lord Shukra also joins in by being placed there.
LL Jup is aspected by the Su 6th lord of premature ends.
D9 Navamsa
Leo Navamsa is rising with Mars in it. Leo is the 6th house in Rasi. Violent Mars has his 8th aspect on the 8th house, Sa aspects the 8th as well.
Lagna lord of Rasi JP is debilitated and in 6th with D9 lord Su.
Stationary/Manda Saturn
I had recently shared an ongoing research about accidents around Stationary Saturn transit [ inspired by few articles on the same Shri Manish Pandit Sir]. Lot of accidents had Saturn becoming stationary +/- 20-25 days span from the date of accident.

Saturn turned Margi/progressive on 22nd Feb, 2003, 22 days after the disaster. This means he had slowed to almost a halt on the day of re entry. Afflicted by being with Rahu, this Saturn had become a great threat. Launch happened in RA Dasha in Vimshottari. Thus, this combo of SA-RA is central to this disaster. [Rahu giving the result of one h is conjoined with or the sign lord]
All in all. The analysis in hindsight helps us understand the importance of choosing a good time for important events. The original chosen date was of 11th Jan, but one often is helpless against the destiny and the launch after being rescheduled 11 times, was fixed for this date. Unfortunately this date and time were marred with doom as clearly found above with multiple application of Jyotisha principle. We dearly remember the lost souls who were off to do something for mankind.
Shri Gurudev Datta!
