PDT, Edwards AFB, CA · Mission Highlights: The mission focused on life sciences, materials science, fluid mechanics, atmospheric physics, and astronomy. Two GAS experiments and the Northern Utah Satellite, the Global Low Orbiting Message Relay Satellite, the ZeroGravity/Fluid Experiment System, the Mercuric Iodide Growth/Vapor Crystal Growth System, the Mercury Iodide Crystal Growth, the Ames Research Center Life Sciences Payload, the Biotelemetry System, the Dynamic Environment Measurement System, the Autogenic Feedback Training, the Urine Monitoring System, the Dynamics of Rotating and Oscillating Free Drops/Drop Dynamics Module, the Atmospheric Trace Molecules Spectroscopy, the Geophysical Fluid Flow Cell Experiment, the Auroral Imaging Experiment, and the Studies of the Ionization of Solar and Galactic Cosmic Ray Heavy Nuclei were on board. The payload also included the Very Wide Field Camera. STS-33 (Discovery) · Crew: Commander Frederick D. Gregory, Pilot John E. Blaha, Mission Specialist 1 F. Story Musgrave, Mission Specialist 2 Manley L. Carter, Jr., Payload Specialist 1 Kathryn C. Thornton · Launched: 22 November 1989 at 7:23 P.M.

Mission Highlights: STS-44 was Gregory's second flight as commander and his last flight on a shuttle mission. The mission was a DoD and Defense Support Program (DSP) flight, and the unclassified payload was the DSP satellite attached to the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS). There were other payloads that were classified because of DoD restrictions. Experiments included on the mission were the Interim Operational Contamination Monitor (IOCM), Terra Scout, Military Man in Space (M88-1), the Air Force Maui Optical Site (AMOS), the Cosmic Radiation Effects and Activation Monitor (CREAM), the Shuttle Activation Monitor (SAM), the Radiation Monitoring Equipment III (RME III), the Visual Function Tester-1 (VFT-1), the Ultraviolet Plume Instrument (UVPI), and the Bioreactor Flow and Particle Trajectory experiment.
