Mission objective was to deploy the TDRS-B communication satellite, cancelled due to IUS failure. Most of the crew would be reassigned to STS-51-D which flew in April 1985 (except for Patrick Baudry, who was re-assigned to STS-51-G which flew in June 1985).

The patch shown above is the very rare fully embroidered version. There are also full size silk screen printed versions of this patch, which are slightly more common.
