Unlikely, since the HP48 was released in the early 90s, long after the Challenger accident.

My guess is that any calculators aboard Challenger would be HP-41Cs. These were in use aboard Space Shuttles since 1983 (-ish?) and the subject of articles in two HP-key note issues (Jan-April 1981 Vol. 5, No. 1 and March - May 1982 Vol. 6 No. 2).
