STS-41 var den trettiosjätte flygningen i det amerikanska rymdfärjeprogrammet och elfte i ordningen för rymdfärjan Discovery. Den sköts upp från Pad 39B vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida den 6 oktober 1990. Efter drygt fyra dagar i omloppsbana runt jorden återinträdde rymdfärjan i jordens atmosfär och landade vid Edwards Air Force Base i Kalifornien.
Uppdragets mål
Huvudsaklig målet var att placera ut rymdsonden Ulysses som skulle sändas ut i vidare bana i solsystemet där den skulle åka ovan solens båda poler.
Uppdragets besättning
- Richard N. Richards, befälhavare (2)
- Robert D. Cabana, pilot (1)
- William M. Shepherd, uppdragsspecialist (2)
- Thomas D. Akers, uppdragsspecialist (1)
- Bruce E. Melnick, uppdragsspecialist (1)
Väckningar
Under Geminiprogrammet började NASA spela musik för besättningar och sedan Apollo 15 har man varje "morgon" väckt besättningen med ett särskilt musikstycke, särskilt utvalt antingen för en enskild astronaut eller för de förhållanden som råder.

STS-41 Mission Insignia
Sts31 flight insignia.png
STS-31 shuttle mission flight insignia. The mission insignia for NASA's STS-31 mission features the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in its observing configuration against a background of the universe it will study. The cosmos includes a stylistic depiction of galaxies in recognition of the contribution made by Sir Edwin Hubble to our understanding of the nature of galaxies and the expansion of the universe. The STS-31 crew points out that is it in honor of Hubble's work that this great observatory in space bears his name. The depicted Space Shuttle trails a spectrum symbolic of both the red shift observations that were so important to Hubble's work and new information which will be obtained with the HST. Encircling the art work, designed by the crew, are the names of its members.
