A Navy full-honors funeral takes place in Section 46 for Capt. Caurel Blair Salton Clark, Columbia astronaut and medical doctor who perished with others in the crew Feb. 1, 2003, on return to Earth.
The funeral of Navy doctor and astronaut Capt. Laurel Blair Salton Clark unfolds at Arlington National Cemetery March 10, 2003. Clark was one of the seven-member crew on the last voyage of the space shuttle Columbia, which broke up on atmospheric reentry Feb. 1. She is the second of three to be buried at Arlington. The memorial at bottom left is to the crew of the Challenger, the shuttle that failed as disastrously 17 years earlier.
