Mission Highlights: The primary payload of STS-6 was the TDRS-1 satellite connected to the IUS. There were problems with the IUS final burn, and the TDRS and IUS detachment was delayed. Other payloads included the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System (CFES), the Monodisperse Latex Reactor (MLR), the Radiation Monitoring Experiment (RME), the Night/Day Optical Survey of Lightning (NOSL), and three Get Away Special (GAS) canisters. Peterson and Musgrave conducted the first EVA in the space shuttle program, and they accumulated four hours and seventeen minutes of EVA while working in the shuttle cargo bay.
