[PAR] [TLE] STS-7 [SEP] STS-7 was NASA's seventh Space Shuttle mission, and the second mission for the Space Shuttle "Challenger".  During the mission, "Challenger" deployed several satellites into orbit.  The shuttle launched from Kennedy Space Center on June 18, 1983, and landed at Edwards Air Force Base on June 24.  STS-7 was notable for carrying Sally Ride, America's first female astronaut. [PAR] [TLE] Sally Ride [SEP] Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012) was an American physicist and astronaut.  Born in Los Angeles, she joined NASA in 1978 and became the first American woman in space in 1983.  Ride was the third woman in space overall, after USSR cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova (1963) and Svetlana Savitskaya (1982).  Ride remains the youngest American astronaut to have traveled to space, having done so at the age of 32.  After flying twice on the Orbiter "Challenger", she left NASA in 1987.  She worked for two years at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Arms Control, then at the University of California, San Diego as a professor of physics, primarily researching nonlinear optics and Thomson scattering.  She served on the committees that investigated the "Challenger" and "Columbia" space shuttle disasters, the only person to participate in both.  Ride died of pancreatic cancer on July 23, 2012.
