Answer 1

Sally Ride had a space mission named after her and she served as a mission specialist on the Challenger. She was the first American woman in space, not the first to spacewalk, and did not pass away in the Challenger explosion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two statements that describe Sally Ride correctly are B. she had an important space mission named after her and E. she served as a mission specialist on the Challenger. Sally Ride is famous for being the first American woman to travel into space. She was not the first to spacewalk away from a shuttle; that achievement belongs to another astronaut. Also, Sally Ride did not pass away in the Challenger explosion; she was part of the STS-7 mission in 1983, and the Challenger disaster occurred in 1986 during the STS-51-L mission.
