The Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) is placed in orbit by the shuttle Challenger crew in this view. Still attached to the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector, the LDEF is backdropped against Florida, the Bahama Bank, the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic waters.
Challenger's roll-out from the orbiter processing facility (OPF) to the vehicle assembly building (VAB) is underway as preparations continue towards launch of STS-8. Challenger is being towed into the VAB by tractor, with parked cars on all sides. Close-up view of the Challenger as it is towed in to the VAB. The Kennedy Space Center alternative photo number is 108-KSC-83PC-533 (39145).
The crew assigned to the STS-41CB (STS-13) mission included (left to right) Robert L. Crippen, commander; Terry J. Hart, mission specialist; James D. Van-Hoften, mission specialist; George D. Nelson, mission specialist; and Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, pilot. Launched aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger on April 6, 1984 at 8:58:00 am (EST), the STS-41C mission marked the first direct ascent trajectory for the Space Shuttle. The crew deployed the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF).
STS-41C astronauts George D. Nelson, right, and James D. van Hoften share a repair task at the captured Solar Maximum Mission Satellite (SMMS) in the aft end of the Challenger's cargo bay. The two mission specialist use the mobile foot restraint and the remote manipulator system (RMS) as a "cherry picker" device for moving about. Later, the RMS lifted the SMMS into space once more.
The patch features a helmet visor of an astronaut performing an extravehicular activity. In the visor are reflected the sun's rays, the Challenger and its remote manipulator system (RMS) deploying the long duration exposure facility (LDEF), the Earth and blue sky, and another astronaut working at the damaged Solar Maximum Satellite (SMS). The scene is encircled by the surnames of the crewmembers.
