After the landing of 41-G, Challenger was rolled back to the OPF for processing for the military mission 51-C. When inspectors discovered problems with the heat shield tiles, that high priority mission was reassigned to Discovery, and Challenger was assigned the 51-E payload, consisting of the TDRS B and Anik C-1 satellites. Challenger's first Spacelab mission was 51-B. Launch came on 1985 Apr 29.

Kosmos-1045 was a mockup (GVM) of a Meteor-2 satellite, launched on a test flight of the Tsiklon-3 launch vehicle. It carried small solar panels and also carried a DOSAAF amateur radio payload which was given the callsign RS-2 (originally it was to be RS-3.)
The satellite released the Radio-1 and Radio-2 amateur satellites. Object E, cataloged around Dec 1978, has only a few element sets which have epochs in mid 1980. Later element sets attributed to this object are in a lower orbit and belong to a Strela-1M launch.

The third IS satellite intercepted the Kosmos-373 target on the second revolution, and then exploded. The TLEs are consistent with a launch directly into the intercept orbit. The IS initially entered a 530 x 1052 km orbit and then at the time of the explosion entered an orbit with 2100 km apogee.

The first Titan III-C model, a Titan III-A with two powerful solid strapon `Stage Zero' motors, was 3C-7. Titan 3C-7 was launched from the new pad 40 at the Cape and entered a low circular orbit. Total payload was 9521 kg including a 573 kg truss and a 8948 kg test payload of lead ballast which separated from the Transtage four orbits after insertion to be given the designation 1965-47A.

1980-047A
Kosmos-1186 was launched in Jun 1980. One fragment cataloged near the launch time may be rocket debris; the first pair of satellites seems to have been deployed a month later. Notable was object 1980-47T, one of nine objects released on about 1981 May 25, almost a year after launch. It had a reported radar cross section of almost 20m, and may have been a special radar reflection target. Its low drag compared to other objects released at the same time may indicate a larger mass. Another of the May 1981 objects, 1980-47X, had similar low drag but no large radar return; it may have been a comparison test mass; its decay date may be in error.

OGO B was the second elliptical orbit OGO and became Orbiting Geophysical Observatory 3 after launch. The satellite was orbited on 1966 Jun 7 by an Atlas Agena B from Cape Kennedy. It entered a 319 x 122173 km x 31.4 deg orbit. 3-axis attitude control was lost on Jul 23 but the instruments functioned well. Pitch oscillations near perigee overloaded the system. On 1969 Dec 1 operation was reduced to only the magnetic survey instrument. OGO 3 was finally switched off on 1972 Feb 29.

The first 11F692 (Zenit-4MK) satellite was Kosmos-317, launched from Plesetsk in Dec 1969. The Kettering group detected a TF recovery beacon (a beacon emitting a telemetry signal similar to the Morse letters TF). According to the RAE Kosmos-317 also carried a supplementary charged particles experiment.
