1989-061A
Columbia flew again in Aug 1989. The STS-28R mission was highly classified. It deployed two satellites, one large NRO communications satellite which is thought to have been boosted to Molniya orbit, and one small GAS-can-deployed experiment that may have been a GLOMR follow-on or an NRO sigint payload.
