STS-9 (also known as STS-41A) (Spacelab 1) was the 6th mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia.

The six-member crew —a manned space flight record at the time — included John W. Young, commander, on his second Shuttle flight; Brewster H. Shaw, pilot; Owen Garriott and Robert A. Parker, both mission specialists; and Byron K. Lichtenberg and Ulf Merbold payload specialists— the first two non-astronauts to fly on the Shuttle. Merbold, a citizen of West Germany, also was the first foreign citizen to participate in a Shuttle flight. Lichtenberg was a researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Scientist-astronaut Garriot had spent 56 days in orbit in 1973 aboard Skylab.

  • John Young really made a perfect landing on his last flight! He was slated to command to HST deployment but his mission was canceled by the Challenger accident.
