STS-50 (U.S. Microgravity Laboratory-1) was a NASA Space Shuttle mission, the 12th mission of the Columbia orbiter. Columbia landed at Kennedy Space Center for the first time ever due to bad weather at Edwards Air Force Base caused by the remnants of Hurricane Darby. [1][2]

In June 1992, the USML-1 Spacelab mission -- designated STS-50 -- will be launched into a 160-nautical-mile orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. It will be a 13-day mission to perform scientific investigations using some of the latest high-technology research equipment.

1992年6月25日 · It was the first flight of a Space Shuttle with the Extended Duration Orbiter (EDO) hardware, allowing longer flight durations.

STS-50 not only marked the first U.S. Microgravity Laboratory flight, but also the first Extended Duration Orbiter flight. To prepare for long-term (months) microgravity research aboard Space Station Freedom, scientists and NASA need practical experience in managing progressively longer times for their experiments.
