Cel misji
Lot naukowy z laboratorium Spacelab MSL (Microgravity Science Laboratory)[3].
Przebieg misji
Misja miała dość dramatyczny przebieg mimo bezproblemowego początku. Po kilku godzinach pobytu w kosmosie pojawiły się problemy z jednym z trzech ogniw paliwowych. Załoga z pomocą techników na Ziemi nie potrafiła usunąć usterki. Ogniwo zostało wyłączone. Konsekwencje awarii spowodowały skrócenie misji z planowanych szesnastu dni do zaledwie czterech. Astronautom we znaki dawał się niedobór energii, poza tym NASA obawiała się wybuchu uszkodzonego ogniwa. W związku z tym, że nie osiągnięto żadnego z celów misji, NASA podjęła bezprecedensową decyzję: po usunięciu awarii lot wahadłowca został powtórzony. Z tą samą załogą i takim samym ładunkiem Columbia wystartowała 1 lipca 1997 r. (STS-94). Lot ten przebiegł zgodnie z planem[3].

Flag of the United States.svg
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.

The crew patch for NASA's STS-83 mission depicts the Space Shuttle Columbia launching into space for the first Microgravity Sciences Laboratory 1 (MSL-1) mission. MSL-1 investigated materials science, fluid dynamics, biotechnology, and combustion science in the microgravity environment of space, experiments that were conducted in the Spacelab Module in the Space Shuttle Columbia's cargo bay. The center circle symbolizes a free liquid under microgravity conditions representing various fluid and materials science experiments. Symbolic of the combustion experiments is the surrounding starburst of a blue flame burning in space. The 3-lobed shape of the outermost starburst ring traces the dot pattern of a transmission Laue photograph typical of biotechnology experiments. The numerical designation for the mission is shown at bottom center. As a forerunner to missions involving International Space Station (ISS), STS-83 represented the hope that scientific results and knowledge gained during the flight will be applied to solving problems on Earth for the benefit and advancement of humankind.

STS-83 crew.jpg
Five NASA astronauts and two scientists comprised the crew for the STS-83 and STS-94 missions in support of the first Microgravity Sciences Laboratory 1 (MSL-1). Pictured on the front row (left to right) are Janice E. Voss, payload commander; James D. Halsell, commander; Susan L. Still, pilot; and Donald A. Thomas, mission specialist. On the back row (left to right) are payload specialists Roger K. Crouch, and Gregory T. Linteris; and Michael L. Gernhardt, mission specialist. Dr. Crouch and Dr. Linteris are experts in several disciplines treated on MSL-1. STS-83 launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia on April 4, 1997. The five launched again in July 1997 for the STS-94 mission.
