  STS-41-B - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
STS 41-B was the tenth flight of a Space Shuttle and the fourth for Challenger.
Thus, the next flight, instead of being designated STS-10, became STS 41-B. The new numbering system was designed to be more specific in that the first numeral stood for the fiscal year in which the launch was to take place, the "4" being 1984.
The seventh day of the mission, both astronauts performed an EVA to practice capture procedures for the Solar Maximum Mission satellite retrieval and repair operation planned for the next mission, STS 41-C. Another important "first" for STS 41-B was the reflight of the West German-sponsored SPAS-l pallet/satellite originally flown on STS-7.

The primary objectives of the STS 41-D mission were the deployment of the SYNCOM-IV, Telstar 3-C, and SBS-D satellites; operation of the OAST-1 (Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology-1) payload; and accomplishment of the functions of the Radiation Monitoring Equipment (RME), the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System (CFES III), and the IMAX Camera.
The STS 41-D mission, the first for the OV-103 vehicle, Discovery, was scheduled for launch on June 25, 1984, and June 26, 1984, and August 29, 1984.
The fifth day of the STS 41-D mission was completed with all Orbiter subsystems and experiment systems operating satisfactorily, but a major concern existed over the ice formation on the supply and waste dump nozzles.
