STS 41-B Post-Flight Presentation

The crew of Space Shuttle mission STS 41-B provide an overview of their mission during the traditional post flight presentation. Challenger launched from the Kennedy Space Center on February 3, 1984, and although the flight was marred by the failure of two commercial satellite deployments, astronaut Bruce McCandless made history by making the first untethered spacewalk using the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) jet pack. Challenger returned to the Kennedy Space Center’s shuttle landing facility — another first — on February 11, 1984.
