====STS-41-C ''Challenger''==== {{Further|Space Shuttle Challenger}} [[Image:STS-41-C crew.jpg|thumb|Hart (2nd from left) with [[STS-41-C]] crewmates]] STS-41-C ''[[Space Shuttle Challenger|Challenger]]'' was launched from [[Kennedy Space Center]] in [[Merritt Island, Florida]], on April 6, 1984. The crew included [[Robert Crippen]] (spacecraft commander), [[Dick Scobee]] (pilot), and fellow mission specialists, [[George D. Nelson]] and [[James van Hoften]]. During this mission, the crew successfully deployed the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF); retrieved the ailing Solar Maximum [[Satellite]], repaired it on board ''Challenger'', and replaced it in orbit using the robot arm called the [[Remote Manipulator System]] (RMS). The mission also included flight testing of [[Manned Maneuvering Unit]]s (MMUs) in two extravehicular activities (EVAs); operation of the Cinema 360 and [[IMAX]] camera systems, as well as a bee hive honeycomb structures student experiment. Mission duration was 7 days before landing at [[Edwards Air Force Base]] in [[Edwards, California]], on April 13, 1984.<ref>{{cite web|title=STS-41C Challenger|url=http://www.spacefacts.de/mission/english/sts-41c.htm|publisher=Spacefacts.de|date=March 27, 2020|access-date=December 30, 2022}}</ref>
