STS-51-C var den femtonde flygningen i det amerikanska rymdfärjeprogrammet och den tredje i ordningen för rymdfärjan Discovery. Den sköts upp från Pad 39A vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida den 24 januari 1985. Efter drygt tre dagar i omloppsbana runt jorden återinträdde rymdfärjan i jordens atmosfär och landade vid Kennedy Space Center.
Flygningen gjordes på uppdrag av USA:s försvarsdepartement.
Start och landning
Starten skedde klockan 14:50 (EST) 24 januari 1985 från Pad 39A vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida.
Landningen skedde klockan 16:23 (EST) 27 januari 1985 vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida.
Uppdragets mål
Huvuduppgiften för detta uppdrag är inte helt känd, eftersom den var militär av naturen. Man vet emellertid att ett program kallat Magnum ELINT (ELectronic INTelligence) påbörjades (och fortsattes med uppdragen STS-31 och STS-38).
Noterbart
Detta var den första flygningen som var strikt militär till sin natur.
Besättning
- Thomas K. Mattingly (3), befälhavare
- Loren Shriver (1), pilot

STS-51A Mission Insignia
- The Space Shuttle Discovery en route to Earth orbit for NASA's 51-A mission is reminiscent of a soaring Eagle. The red and white trailing stripes and the blue background, along with the presence of the Eagle, generate memories of America's 208 year-old history and traditions. The two satellites orbiting the Earth backgrounded amidst a celestial scene are a universal representation of the versatility of the Space Shuttle. White lettering against the blue border lists the surnames of the five-member crew.
