NAME OF VEHICLE	NAME OF ORBITER	MISSION NUMBER	MISSION DESCRIPTION	LOCATION	CITY	STATE/COUNTRY
SPACE SHUTTLE	SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY	STS 41 D	The mission was delayed by more than two months from its original planned launch date, having experienced the Space Shuttle program’s first launch abort at T-6 seconds on June 26, 1984. The launch was originally planned for June 25, 1984, but because of a variety of technical problems, including rollback to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to replace a faulty Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME), the launch was delayed by over two months.

SPACE SHUTTLE	SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA	STS 61C	STS-61-C saw Columbia return to flight for the first time since the STS-9 mission in November 1983, after having undergone major modifications over the course of 18 months by Rockwell International in California. STS-61-C saw Columbia return to flight for the first time since the STS-9 mission in November 1983, after having undergone major modifications over the course of 18 months by Rockwell International in California. Most notable of these modifications was the addition of the SILTS (Shuttle Infrared Leeside Temperature Sensing)	N/A	N/A	N/A
SPACE SHUTTLE	SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY	STS 31	The main purpose of this mission was to deploy Hubble. It was designed to operate above the Earth’s turbulent and obscuring atmosphere to observe celestial objects at ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The Hubble mission was a joint NASA-ESA (European Space Agency) effort going back to the late 1970s.	STEVEN UDVAR HAZY	CHANTILLY	VIRGINIA
SPACE SHUTTLE	SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY	STS 82	It was NASA’s second mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope, during which Discovery’s crew repaired and upgraded the telescope’s scientific instruments, increasing its research capabilities.	STEVEN UDVAR HAZY	CHANTILLY	VIRGINIA
SPACE SHUTTLE	SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA	STS 93	STS-93 in 1999 marked the 95th launch of the Space Shuttle, the 26th launch of Columbia, and the 21st night launch of a Space Shuttle. During the main engine ignition sequence, a gold pin used to plug an oxidizer post in the Space Shuttle’s number three (right) engine came loose and was violently ejected, striking the engine nozzle’s inner surface and tearing open three cooling tubes containing hydrogen. These ruptures resulted in a leak upstream of the main combustion chamber. This anomalous event and the automatic response to the leak by the right engine’s controller did not violate any launch commit criteria and liftoff proceeded normally.	N/A	N/A	N/A
