Renamed by the USGS Board of Geographic Names in 1987 through a proposal made by Colorado Springs resident, Dennis Williams. The top of Challenger Point is now home to the following memorial plaque "Celebrating the Summit" of American Heroes:

In Memory of the Crew of Shuttle Challenger
Seven who died accepting the risk,
expanding Mankind's horizons
January 28, 1986 Ad Astra Per Aspera

The Latin phrase "Ad Astra Per Aspera" translates as "To the stars through adversity."
