STS-41-C
STS-41-C (formerly STS-13) was NASA's 11th Space Shuttle mission, and the fifth mission of Space Shuttle "Challenger". The launch, which took place on April 6, 1984, marked the first direct ascent trajectory for a shuttle mission. During the mission, "Challenger"'s crew captured and repaired the malfunctioning Solar Maximum Mission ("Solar Max") satellite, and deployed the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) experimental apparatus. STS-41-C was extended one day due to problems capturing the Solar Max satellite, and the landing on April 13 took place at Edwards Air Force Base, instead of at Kennedy Space Center as had been planned. The flight was originally numbered STS-13.
