Commander Brewster Shaw lands Columbia at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., in August 1989 after a classified Department of Defense mission. The flight was Columbia's first after the Challenger accident. The shuttle was called the "Hangar Queen" after Challenger because of delays getting Columbia back into space.
