Thornton, Payload Specialist 1 Lodewijk van den Berg, and Payload Specialist 2 Taylor G. Wang Launched: 29 April 1985 at 12:02:18 p.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center, Florida Duration: Seven days, zero hours, eight minutes, and forty-six seconds Landed: 6 May 1985 at 9:11:04 a.m. PDT at Edwards Air Force Base, California Mission Highlights: Challenger carried Spacelab 3 in the first operational flight of the European Space Agency-developed laboratory. The flight crew split into gold and silver shift working twelve-hour days during the mission. The experiments conducted during the mission represented a total of five different disciplines: materials processing in space, environmental observations, life science, astrophysics, and technology experiments. Of the fifteen experiments scheduled aboard Spacelab, the flight crew viewed fourteen of them successful. The space flight marked the first instance in which animals were flown with a flight crew. The crew members observed two monkeys and twenty-four rodents to determine the effects of weightlessness upon animals. Lind assisted in the mission's primary objective, which was to conduct materials processing and fluid experiments in a microgravity environment. Additionally, Lind developed one of the experiments on board, a means of making three-dimensional recordings of the Earth's aurora. The mission also included two Getaway Specials (GAS). The two Getaway Special experiments required the flight crew to deploy them from their canisters, a first in this program. These were Northern Utah Satellite (NUSAT) and Global Low Orbiting Message Relay Satellite (GLOMOR). During the mission, the flight crew successfully deployed NUSAT, but the GLOMOR did not deploy and had to be returned to Earth.
