Launch from Cape Canaveral (KSC);
landing on Edwards AFB. STS-5 became the first shuttle operational mission and the first mission with a crew of four including mission specialists. The deploy of communications satellites SBS-C (USA) and Telesat/Anik C-3 (Canada) were successful. A planned EVA by Joseph Allen and William Lenoir was first delayed, because the astronauts suffered on the space adaption syndrome and was then cancelled because of spacesuit problems. Several student experiments were performed. A German materials science experiment failed due to a battery mailfunction. |
