Orbiter Columbia OV-102 had a unique external feature the “SILTS” pod (Shuttle Infrared Leeside Temperature Sensing), it was located on the top of her vertical stabilizer. It was installed after STS-9 (1984) to acquire infrared and other thermal data on the vehicle’s environment. The instruments were removed after several missions but the pod remained.

TODAY IN HISTORY – On June 18, 1983, the Space Shuttle Challenger carried astronaut Sally Ride into Earth orbit, launching her into history as the first American woman in space. It was seventh space shuttle mission, lasting 6 days, 2 hours, 23 minutes, 59 seconds. When the shuttle returned, Dr. Ride said, “I’m sure it was the most fun that I’ll ever have in my life.”
