Flight

Launch from Cape Canaveral (KSC); landing on Cape Canaveral (KSC). Low cloads at Cape Canaveral and bad weather at the emercency landing places forced a scrub on June 20, 1993.

Retrieval of the European-built platform EURECA (deployed on mission STS-46 in summer 1992). It was stowed in the payload bay.

EVA by Low and Wisoff on 25.06.1993 (5h 50m), to make final tests for repairing works on the Hubble Space Telescope. The astronauts conducted scores of biomedical and materials sciences experiments inside Spacehab module.

Due to bad weather at Cape Canaveral the landing was delayed 24 hours.
