: 41-D (Discovery) Crew: Commander Henry W. "Hank" Hartsfield, Pilot Michael L. "Mike" Coats, Mission Specialist 1 Judith "Judy" Resnik, Mission Specialist 2 Steven A. Hawley, Mission Specialist 3 Richard M. "Mike" Mullane, Payload Specialist 1 Charles D. "Charlie" Walker Launched: 30 August 1984 at 8:41 A.M. EDT from Cape Canaveral, FL Duration: 6 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds Landed: 5 September 1984 at 8:37:54 A.M. PDT at Edwards AFB, CA Mission Highlights: Maiden flight of orbiter Discovery. This mission had four major payloads, three of which were satellites: Satellite Business System-D (SBS-D), SYNCOM IV-2 (LEASAT2), and TELSTAR. This was the first time the crew deployed three satellites on the same flight. Additionally, the OAST-1 experiment, when fully extended out of the payload bay, was the largest structure ever extended from a manned spacecraft. Other payload experiments included: Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System (CFES) III; Radiation Monitoring Equipment (RME); Shuttle Student Involvement Program (SSIP); IMAX Camera; Air Force Experiment; and Cloud Logic to Optimize Use of Defense Systems (CLOUDS). This mission is also notable for inconveniences caused by an icicle that formed around the wastewater vent on the port side of the orbiter.

STS 51-D (Discovery) · Crew: Commander Karol J. Bobko, Pilot Donald E. Williams, Mission Specialist 1 M. Rhea Seddon, Mission Specialist 2 Jeffrey A. Hoffman, Mission Specialist 3 S. David Griggs, Payload Specialist 1 Charles D. "Charlie" Walker, Payload Specialist 2 Sen. Edwin J. "Jake" Garn · Launched: 12 April 1985 at 8:59:05 A.M. EST from Cape Canaveral, FL · Duration: 6 days, 23 hours, 55 minutes, 23 seconds · Landed: 19 April 1985 at 8:54:28 A.M. EST at Kennedy Space Center, FL · Mission Highlights: This mission had two major payloads, the Hughes SYNCOM IV3 satellite, also known as LEASAT 3, and the Canadian communications spacecraft Anik C-1. The Anik C-1 spacecraft was successfully deployed shortly into the mission, however, the LEASAT 3 did not correctly activate. The orbiter returned and the crew, in the first unscheduled EVA in the Shuttle program, used a flyswatter device to "snag and tug" at a faulty sequence start lever. This was to no avail, and LEASAT 3 would have to wait for a later mission for repairs. Utah Senator Jake Garn was the first elected official to fly aboard the Space Shuttle. Senator Garn was onboard as a Congressional observer acting in his capacity as chairman of NASA's budget oversight committee. Experiments onboard included the second flight of the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis Experiment, successfully operated by Walker; an

informal science study of the behavior of simple mechanical toys in microgravity; two Shuttle Student Involvement Project (SSIP) experiments, of which one was successful and one not; a Phase Partitioning Experiment; and echocardiograph and image intensifier experiments. STS 61-B (Atlantis) · Crew: Commander Brewster H. Shaw, Jr., Pilot Bryan D. O'Connor, Mission Specialist 1 Mary L. Cleave, Mission Specialist 2 Sherwood C. Spring, Mission Specialist 3 Jerry L. Ross, Payload Specialist 1 Rodolfo Neri Vela, Payload Specialist 2 Charles D. "Charlie" Walker · Launched: 26 November 1985 at 7:29:00 P.M. EST from Cape Canaveral, FL · Duration: 6 days, 21 hours, 4 minutes, 49 seconds · Landed: 3 December 1985 at 1:33:49 P.M. PST at Edwards AFB, CA · Mission Highlights: This flight was the second night launch of the Shuttle Program. The primary payload of this mission consisted of three communications satellites: MORELOS-B for Mexico; AUSSAT-2 for Australia; and RCA SATCOM KU-2, a satellite deployed using a PAM-D2 motor designed for heavy payloads. Coupled with the primary payloads, the crew conducted two main experiments: the Experimental Assembly of Structures in Extravehicular Activity (EASE) and Assembly Concept for Construction of Erectable Space Structure (ACCESS). These two experiments required two spacewalks by Spring and Ross, lasting a total of over twelve hours. Additional payloads included: the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System (CFES); Diffusive Mixing of Organic Solutions (DMOS); Morelos Payload Specialist Experiments (MPSE); and Orbiter Experiments. Lastly, a student experiment from Canada, Getaway Special Experiment, and the IMAX Camera were onboard the Space Shuttle in the payload bay. AWAR · · · · · · · · · · · SEL
