She was responsible for deploying the Spartan satellite which malfunctioned, necessitating a spacewalk by Winston Scott and Takao Doi to capture the satellite in 1997.
On her second mission, STS-107 did over 80 experiments.

Explanation:

These 80 experiments include;

In SPACEHAB RDM:

9 commercial payloads with 21 investigations,
4 payloads for the European Space Agency with 14 investigations
1 payload for ISS Risk Mitigation
18 payloads NASA's Office of Biological and Physical Research (OBPR) with r 23 investigations
In the payload bay attached to RDM:

Combined Two-Phase Loop Experiment (COM2PLEX),
Miniature Satellite Threat Reporting System (MSTRS)
Star Navigation (STARNAV).
FREESTAR

Critical Viscosity of Xenon- 2 (CVX-2)
Low Power Transceiver (LPT)
Mediterranean Israeli Dust Experiment (MEIDEX)
Space Experiment Module (SEM- 14)
Solar Constant Experiment-3 (SOLCON-3)
Shuttle Ozone Limb Sounding Experiment (SOLSE-2)
Additional payloads

Shuttle Ionospheric Modification with Pulsed Local Exhaust Experiment (SIMPLEX)
Ram Burn Observation (RAMBO).
Because much of the data was transmitted during the mission, there was still large return on the mission objectives even though it was lost on re-entry. Some of the experiments were also found on the ground.


Hope this helps.
