STS-61-A – Spacelab D-1 – Buchli, Hartsfield, Nagel, Bluford, Dunbar Mission Patch NASA – Space Shuttle Patch 4 x 4 in. USED

STS-61-A (also known as Spacelab D-1) was the 22nd mission of NASA’s Space Shuttle program. It was a scientific Spacelab mission, funded and directed by West Germany – hence the non-NASA designation of D-1 (for Deutschland-1). STS-61-A was the ninth and last successful flight of Space Shuttle Challenger. STS-61-A holds the current record for the largest crew – eight people – aboard any single spacecraft for the entire period from launch to landing.

The mission carried the NASA/European Space Agency (ESA) Spacelab module into orbit with 76 scientific experiments on board, and was declared a success. Payload operations were controlled from the German Space Operations Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, West Germany, instead of from the regular NASA control center. This was the first spaceflight to include multiple crewmembers from any single country other than the United States or Soviet Union.
