Mission Highlights: STS 41-D deployed three satellites: Satellite Business Systems (SBS-D), SYNCOM IV (also known as Leasat-2), and the AT&T TELSTAR 3-C. The mission also tested the Office of Aerospace Technology (OAST-1), a solar array design that NASA was considering for a future, long-duration space station. STS 41D also flew the scientific payloads Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System III (CFES), Radiation Monitoring Equipment (RME), Shuttle Student Involvement Program (SSIP), a classified Air Force Experiment, an IMAX camera, and Cloud Logic to Optimize Use of Defense Systems (CLOUDS). STS 41-D is also notable for the icicle that formed as a result of a fault in the wastewater dump nozzle design. Commander Hartsfield, however, used the Remote Operating System (RMS) to "manually" break off the icicle.
