STS-28 var den trettionde flygningen i det amerikanska rymdfärjeprogrammet och åttonde i ordningen för rymdfärjan Columbia. Den sköts upp från Pad 39B vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida den 8 augusti 1989. Efter drygt fem dagar i omloppsbana runt jorden återinträdde rymdfärjan i jordens atmosfär och landade vid Edwards Air Force Base i Kalifornien.
Flygningen gjordes på uppdrag av USA:s försvarsdepartement.
Uppdragets mål
Huvuduppgiften för detta uppdrag tillkännagavs inte, eftersom det var för amerikanska försvarsdepartementets räkning. Senare har det bekräftats att målet med flygningen var att placera den första SDS-2-satelliten i omloppsbana runt jorden. Satelliten kallades USA-40.[4]

- The STS-28 insignia was designed by the astronaut crew, who said it portrays the pride the American people have in their manned spaceflight program. It depicts America (the eagle) guiding the space program (the Space Shuttle) safely home from an orbital mission. The view looks south on Baja California and the west coast of the United States as the space travelers re-enter the atmosphere. The hypersonic contrails created by the eagle and Shuttle represent the American flag. The crew called the simple boldness of the design symbolic of America's unfaltering commitment to leadership in the exploration and development of space.

The STS-30 patch depicts the joining of NASA's manned and unmanned space programs. The sun and inner planets of our solar system are shown with the curve connecting Earth and Venus symbolizing the shuttle orbit, the spacecraft trajectory toward Venus, and its subsequent orbit around our sister planet. A Spanish caravel similar to the ship on the official Magellan program logo commemorates the 16th century explorer's journey and his legacy of adventure and discovery. Seven stars on the patch honor the crew of Challenger. The five-star cluster in the shape of the constellation Cassiopeia represent the five STS-30 crewmembers - Astronauts David Walker, Ronald Grabe, Norman Thagard, Mary Cleave and Mark Lee - who collectively designed the patch.
