Mission Highlights: The primary objective was to perform rendezvous, docking and undocking with spacecraft from two different countries (USA/USSR) to simulate spacecraft recovery. Of secondary importance was the demonstration of crew transfer and interaction of diverse crews and control-centers.

STS-5 (Columbia) · Crew: Commander Vance D. Brand, Pilot Robert F. Overmyer, Mission Specialist 1 Joseph P. Allen, Mission Specialist 2 William B. Lenoir · Launched: 11 November 1982 at 07:19:00 A.M.

PST, Edwards AFB, CA · Mission Highlights: The primary significance of STS-5 resulted from its being the first "operational" mission of the space shuttle program. Two commercial communication satellites were deployed: the SBS-3 and the Anik C-3. STS 41-B (Challenger) · Crew: Commander Vance D. Brand, Pilot Robert L. Gibson, Mission Specialist Bruce McCandless II, Mission Specialist Ronald E. McNair, Mission Specialist Robert L. Stewart · Launched: 3 February 1984 at 08:00:00 A.M.

EST, Kennedy Space Center, FL · Mission Highlights: STS-41B featured the first untethered spacewalks and tested the Manned Maneuvering Unit backpacks. This mission also marked the first shuttle landing at the KSC landing facility. The only other major objective, the launching of two satellites, was not completed successfully as the PAM booster did not function properly and the satellites could not achieve their proper orbit. STS-35 (Columbia) · Crew: Commander Vance D. Brand, Pilot Guy S. Gardner, Mission Specialist 1 Jeffrey A. Hoffman, Mission Specialist 2 John M. Lounge, Mission Specialist 3 Robert A. Parker, Payload Specialist 1 Samuel T. Durrance, Payload Specialist 2 Ronald A. Parise · Launched: 2 December 1990 at 01:49:01 A.M.
