The FRF was only performed before the first flight of each shuttle orbiter - so were performed on STS-1 Columbia, STS-6 Challenger, STS-41D Discovery, STS-51J Atlantis and STS-49 Endeavour....the exceptions being the FRF for STS-26 Discovery - the flight after Challenger in 1986 and Challenger also performed a second FRF before STS-6 because of SSME problems...hope that all helps!
was the crew onboard for this test?

No, it's only to test the total systems of new shuttles.
