I'm assuming you're talking about Challenger in 1986. Space Shuttle Challenger did not explode. It's right SRB exploded because it's O-ring failed because of the 27 F degree weather on the launch pad. So what could've been done to prevent it? Not launch it.
Generally space shuttles are not used to launch satellites as it is very costly to launch a space shuttle. Rockets with automated systems place satellites in orbit as opposed to a manned shuttle.
The final shuttle launch takes place in July 2011.
The space shuttle only launches from Cape Kennedy space centre in Florida. There are 2 launch pads there that shuttle can launch from 39A and 39B.
