NASA’s Columbia Space Shuttle completed mission STS-61-C when it landed at the Edwards Air Force Base.
This completed the Columbia shuttle’s seventh mission and the 24th space shuttle mission overall. Aside from carrying a wide variety of experiments, the shuttle also brought a new satellite into orbit. It’s also claimed that a classified US Air Force infrared experiment was conducted during the flight. STS-61-C was the last shuttle flight before the Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster.
