2-5 September 1984: Hartsfield, Coats, Mullane, Hawley, Resnik, & Walker tested the OAST-1 solar array, a prototype of the large, lightweight arrays that still power the International Space Station; this was highlighted in the IMAX film The Dream Is Alive (1985); a flaw in the waste dump nozzle formed an icicle made of urine (a "pee-sicle"); after 97 orbits, the Discovery landed at California's Edwards.
