Beschreibung : The much-delayed ASTRO-1 had originally been manifested to fly on what would have been the next shuttle mission after Challenger`s ill-fated STS-51L as STS-61E in March 1986. The mission was remanifested as STS-35 during the long stand-down after the accident with the addition of the Broad-Band X-Ray Telescope (BBXRT-01), and the original ASTRO-1 payload was brought out of storage and recertified for flight.
