Shuttle mission STS-50 was the 12th mission of the Columbia orbiter and carried the first United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-1) to space, conducting long-duration microgravity experiments.


Its 13-day mission, the first Extended Duration Orbiter flight, and the longest space shuttle mission to date also provided new information on the effects of long-term human stay in space.


Columbia landed at Kennedy Space Center for the first time ever due to bad weather at Edwards Air Force Base caused by the remnants of Hurricane Darby.

STS-51 was a NASA Space Shuttle Discovery mission that launched the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) in September 1993.


The flight also featured the deployment and retrieval of the SPAS-ORFEUS satellite and its IMAX camera, which captured spectacular footage of Discovery in space.


A spacewalk was also performed during the mission to evaluate tools and techniques for the STS-61 Hubble Space Telescope (HST) servicing-mission later that year.


STS-51 was the first shuttle mission to fly a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, a Trimble TANS Quadrex. It was mounted in an overhead window where limited field of view (FoV) and signal attenuation from the glass severely impacted receiver performance.
