STS-7 was the seventh NASA Space Shuttle mission, and the second mission for the Space Shuttle Challenger. The mission launched on June 18, 1983, from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A, and landed on June 24, 1983, at Edwards Air Force Base. The crew consisted of Sally Ride, Frederick Hauck, Norman Thagard, John Fabian, and Frederick Gregory, who were all affiliated with NASA and the United States Air Force. The mission was a significant milestone for NASA, as it marked the first time a Space Shuttle had carried a female astronaut, Sally Ride, into space, following in the footsteps of Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya.

STS-7

The STS-7 mission was a historic event that marked a significant milestone in the Space Shuttle program. The mission was launched from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A on June 18, 1983, at 11:33:00 AM EDT, and landed on June 24, 1983, at 12:57:00 PM PDT at Edwards Air Force Base. The crew of the mission included Sally Ride, who became the first American woman in space, joining the ranks of Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. The mission was also notable for the deployment of two communications satellites, ANIK C-2 and PALAPA B-1, which were built by Hughes Aircraft and Ford Aerospace, respectively. The mission was supported by NASA's Johnson Space Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Crew

The crew of the STS-7 mission consisted of five members, including Sally Ride, Frederick Hauck, Norman Thagard, John Fabian, and Frederick Gregory. Sally Ride was a NASA astronaut and physicist who became the first American woman in space. Frederick Hauck was the commander of the mission, and had previously flown on STS-3. Norman Thagard was a NASA astronaut and medical doctor who had previously flown on STS-3. John Fabian was a NASA astronaut and engineer who had previously flown on STS-3. Frederick Gregory was a NASA astronaut and pilot who had previously flown on STS-3. The crew was supported by NASA's Astronaut Office, Johnson Space Center, and Kennedy Space Center.
