Mission overview

The planned launch of Discovery on November 7, has been canceled due to a sudden change in the weather at T -20 minutes. The second attempt on 8 November went according to plan.

The mission was very much geared to satellites NASA. First, the two satellite TéléSAT H and I were SYNCOM IV (also known as LEASAT -1) exposed. Then the satellite PALAPA B2 and Westar VI, who had been exposed to in the mission STS -41 -B, were brought aboard the shuttle and taken back to Earth.

Furthermore, the experiments were carried out DMOS and RME.
