I decided to go back and build another shuttle (this will be #5 for me). I built all of the other ones before I joined here, so it will be nice to have a record of one of these coming together.
For Challenger, I decided to to the last successful mission STS-61-A/D-1. This was a unique mission as it was run by West Germany, and the largest crew (8) from launch until landing on a single spacecraft.
The payload is a modified version of AXM's available payloads taking some elements from his payware STS-90 and several other free payloads.
My only major edit was modifying the spacelab logos to match the actual mission.
Here is the start of the shuttle itself:
