STS 51-C was the fifteenth flight of a Space Shuttle and the third flight of Discovery. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/STS_61_A   (1722 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Thomas Aquinas From the prologue to the "Summa" it is clear that St. Thomas was opposed to all that was superfluous and confusing in Scholastic studies. Minds were formed in accordance with the principles of St. Thomas; he became the great master, exercising a world-wide influence on the opinions of men and on their writings; for even those who did not adopt all of his conclusions were obliged to give due consideration to his opinions. The style of St. Thomas is a medium between the rough expressiveness of some Scholastics and the fastidious elegance of John of Salisbury; it is remarkable for accuracy, brevity, and completeness. www.newadvent.org /cathen/14663b.htm   (9682 words)

STS-61 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The longest spacewalk occurred on STS-49 in May 1992 during Endeavour's maiden flight. In anticipation of that spacewalk, Musgrave and Hoffman prepared the solar array carrier which is located in the forward portion of the cargo bay, and attached a foot restraint on the telescope to assist in the solar array replacement. Musgrave's and Hoffman's first task was to replace the solar array drive electronics and they began the SADE operation while ground controllers initiated the first step in solar array deployment by commanding the Primary Drive Mechanism (PDM). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/STS-61   (3005 words)

STS-41-B 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. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/S/STS-41-B.htm   (731 words)
