NASA Shuttle Mission Patch STS-51 T-shirt

STS-51 was a space shuttle mission launched on September 9, 1993, with the primary objective of deploying the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) into orbit. The crew, commanded by Frank Culbertson, included four other astronauts responsible for operating various scientific experiments on board the shuttle. The launch was delayed by a day due to inclement weather, but the shuttle successfully lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 9th. The mission marked the first time that a space shuttle deployed a satellite with a large deployable antenna, and the ACTS satellite would revolutionize satellite communications by providing high-speed internet access to remote areas.
