marking the start of the STS-41-G mission. On board were seven crew members – the largest flight crew ever to fly on a single spacecraft at that time. They included commander Robert L. Crippen, making his fourth Shuttle flight and second in six months (Crippen became the first American astronaut to complete two space missions in the same calendar year); pilot Jon A. McBride; three mission specialists – David C. Leestma, Sally K. Ride and Kathryn D. Sullivan – and two payload specialists, Paul D. Scully-Power and Marc Garneau, the first Canadian citizen to serve as a Shuttle crew member, as well as the first Canadian in space. The mission also marked the first time two female astronauts had flown together. </p><p>Sullivan became the first American woman to walk in space when she and Leestma performed a 3-hour Extravehicular activity (EVA) on October 11, 1984, demonstrating the Orbital Refueling System (ORS) and proving the feasibility of refueling satellites in orbit. </p><p>Nine hours after liftoff, the 2,307 kg (5,086 lb) <a href="/wiki/Earth_Radiation_Budget_Satellite" title="Earth Radiation Budget Satellite">Earth Radiation Budget Satellite</a> (ERBS) was deployed from the payload bay by the <a href="/wiki/Canadarm" title="Canadarm">Canadarm</a> robot arm, and its on-board thrusters boosted it into orbit 560 km (350 mi) above the <a href="/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a>. ERBS was the first of three planned satellites designed to measure the amount of energy received from the <a href="/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">Sun</a> and reradiated into space. It also studied the seasonal movement of energy from the <a href="/wiki/Tropics" title="Tropics">tropics</a> to the <a href="/wiki/Polar_region" class="mw-redirect" title="Polar region">polar regions</a>. </p><p>Another major mission activity was the operation of the Shuttle Imaging Radar-B (SIR-B). The SIR-B was part of the OSTA-3 experiment package in the payload bay, which also included the Large Format Camera (LFC) to photograph the Earth, another camera called <a href="/w/index.php?title=MAPS_(camera)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="MAPS (camera) (page does not exist)">MAPS</a> which measured <a href="/wiki/Air_pollution" title="Air pollution">air pollution</a>, and a feature identification and location experiment called FILE, which consisted of two TV cameras and two 70 mm (2.8 in) still cameras. </p><p>The SIR-B was an improved version of a similar device flown on the OSTA-1 package during <a href="/wiki/STS-2" title="STS-2">STS-2</a>. It had an eight-panel antenna array measuring 11 × 2 m (36.1 × 6.6 ft). It operated throughout the flight, but problems were encountered with <i>Challenger</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s <a href="/wiki/Ku_band" title="Ku band">Ku-band</a> antenna, and therefore much of the data had to be recorded on board the orbiter rather than transmitted to Earth in real-time as was originally planned. </p><p>Payload Specialist Scully-Power, an employee of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Naval_Research_Laboratory" title="United States Naval Research Laboratory">U.S. Naval Research Laboratory</a> (NRL), performed a series of <a href="/wiki/Oceanography" title="Oceanography">oceanography</a> observations during the mission.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Garneau conducted a series of experiments sponsored by the Canadian government, called CANEX, which were related to medical, atmospheric, climatic, materials and robotic science. A number of <a href="/wiki/Getaway_Special" title="Getaway Special">Getaway Special</a> (GAS) canisters, covering a wide variety of materials testing and physics experiments, were also flown. </p><p>A claim was later made that the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet</a> <a href="/wiki/Terra-3" title="Terra-3">Terra-3</a> laser testing center was used to track Challenger with a low-power <a href="/wiki/Laser" title="Laser">laser</a> on October 10, 1984.
