To the southeast of it lies the crater pair of Jarvis and McNair. McAuliffe is a bowl-shaped feature with a roughly circular rim. The rim edge has some wear, but is not overlain by other impacts of significance. The interior floor is roughly circular and featureless.

Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.37 and an inclination of 5 ° with respect to the ecliptic. It has an ''Earth minimum orbital intersection distance'' of , which translates into 79.5 lunar distances. Due to its eccentric orbit, ''McAuliffe'' is also a Mars-crosser.

Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center
The Christa McAuliffe Space Center (known as the McAuliffe Space Center or CMSC), in Pleasant Grove, Utah, teaches school children about space and is visited by students from around the world. It has a number of space flight simulators. The center, named for educator Christa McAuliffe, who was killed in the ''Challenger'' disaster, was started in 1990 by Victor Williamson, an educator at Central Elementary School. It is a building added onto Central Elementary. It aims to teach astronomy and social studies through the use of simulators; the first, ''Voyager'', proved itself popular, and a new planetarium built in 2020. As the years passed, the demand for flights expanded and new ships were commissioned. In October 2012, the space center was temporarily closed at Central Elementary, but re-opened following several district-mandated upgrades, closures, and maintenance procedures in Spring 2013. The original simulators, along with the school that housed them, was demolished on M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
