  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 shuttle is officially referred to as the Space Transportation System (STS).

Beginning in 1984, each mission was assigned a code, such as STS-41-B, with the first digit indicating the last digit of the federal fiscal_year, the second digit indicating the launch site (1 was Kennedy_Space_Center and 2 was Vandenberg_Air_Force_Base, although Vandenberg was never used), and the letter indicating scheduling sequence.
