STS-6 was the sixth NASA Space Shuttle mission and the maiden flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 4 1983 the mission deployed the first Tracking and Data Relay Satellite TDRS-1 into orbit before landing at Edwards Air Force Base on April 9. STS-6 was the first Space Shuttle mission during which a spacewalk was conducted and hence was the first in which the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) was used.
