STS-51-B (Space Transportation System-51-B) var Challengers 7. rumfærge-flyvning, opsendt d. 29. april 1985 og vendte tilbage d. 6. maj 1985.
Missionen medbragte rumlaboratoriet Spacelab-3 og udførte 14 eksperimenter. To aber og 24 gnavere var med om bord og blev observeret for deres reaktioner i vægtløshed. Det var anden gang at Spacelab-laboratoriet var i rummet, men det kunne ikke hedde Spacelab-2 fordi den betegnelse var reserveret til en Spacelabmission bestående af paller. Da Spacelab-2's instrumenter var forsinkede overhalede Spacelab-3 den.

The crew assigned to the STS-51B mission included (seated left to right) Robert F. Overmyer, commander; and Frederick D. Gregory, pilot. Standing, left to right, are Don L. Lind, mission specialist; Taylor G. Wang, payload specialist; Norman E. Thagard, mission specialist; William E. Thornton, mission specialist; and Lodewijk van den Berg, payload specialist. Launched aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger on April 29, 1985 at 12:02:18 pm (EDT), the STS-51B mission's primary payload was the Spacelab-3.
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.
