STS-41-D var Discoverys første rumfærge-mission. Opsendt 30. august 1984 og vendte tilbage den 5. september 1984. Missionen satte tre kommunikationssatellitter i kredsløb Business System SBS-D, SYNCOM IV-2 (LEASAT2) og TELSTAR 3-C. Discovery afprøvede desuden et 31 x 4 m solpanel til brug for fremtidige rumstationer. Sammenfoldet var det 18 cm tykt. McDonnell Douglasingeniøren Charles Walker udførte elektroforeseeksperimenter om bord. Selvom Walker ikke var NASA-astronaut, fløj han endnu to rumflyvninger (STS-51D og -61B).

STS-41D Mission Insignia
  • The official mission insignia for the 41-D Space Shuttle flight features the Discovery - NASA's third orbital vehicle - as it makes its maiden voyage. The ghost ship represents the orbiter's namesakes which have figured prominently in the history of exploration. The Space Shuttle Discovery heads for new horizons to extend that proud tradition. Surnames for the crewmembers of NASA's eleventh Space Shuttle mission encircle the red, white, and blue scene.
