STS-61-A (Space Transportation System-61-A) var Challengers 9. rumfærge-flyvning, opsendt d. 30. oktober 1985, og som vendte tilbage d. 6. november 1985. Det er den eneste gang. at otte personer har fløjet med rumfærgen fra starten til landingen.
Missionen medbragte det tyske rumlaboratorium Spacelab D1 med 75 eksperimenter, og satellitten Global Low Orbiting Message Relay (GLOMR) blev sat i kredsløb.

STS007-32-1702.jpg
STS07-32-1702 (22 June 1983) --- The Earth-orbiting space shuttle Challenger beyond the Earth's horizon was captured by a 70mm camera onboard the unmanned, free-flying Shuttle Pallet Satellite (SPAS-01) during the busy flight day 5 of the STS-7 mission. Visible in the cargo bay are the protective cradles for the now-vacated Telesat Anik C-2 and Palapa B communications satellites, the pallet for the NASA Office of Space and Terrestrial Applications (OSTA-02), the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) and the KU-Band antenna. The STS-7 crew with the RMS later retrieved the SPAS and returned it to a stowed position in the cargo bay for return to Earth. Photo credit: NASA or National Aeronautics and Space Administration
