STS-51-B (Challenger)

 1985-034A


After the landing of 41-G, Challenger was rolled back to the OPF for processing for the military mission 51-C. When inspectors discovered problems with the heat shield tiles, that high priority mission was reassigned to Discovery, and Challenger was assigned the 51-E payload, consisting of the TDRS B and Anik C-1 satellites. Challenger's first Spacelab mission was 51-B. Launch came on 1985 Apr 29.
