STS-51g (NASA) The STS-51g was a Space Shuttle mission launched by NASA on October 6, 1985, aboard the Space Transportation System spacecraft Challenger. This flight was part of NASA's Space Transportation System program, which aimed to develop and operate reusable spacecraft for low Earth orbit missions. The primary objectives of the STS-51g mission included deploying the Defense Support Program (DSP) 19 satellite and conducting various scientific experiments. Despite reaching its intended orbit, the mission was cut short due to a fuel cell problem onboard the Challenger, and the spacecraft returned to Earth for an emergency landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. This incident marked one of the many challenges encountered during the Space Shuttle program's operation but did not affect the overall mission objectives. The STS-51g mission was significant as it showcased the capabilities of reusable spacecraft and the potential for low Earth orbit missions, including satelli
