STS-5 (Columbia)

 1982-110A

---

STS-5 was the first operational Shuttle mission. Launch was on 1982 Nov 11 into a 295 x 301 km x 28.5 deg orbit. At 1618 on Nov 11, Columbia passed only 80 km from the Salyut-7 space station. That evening saw the first launch of a satellite from the Shuttle - the SBS-3 satellite, an HS-376 comsat for Satellite Business Systems, which had a PAM-D upper stage attached. On Nov 12, another HS-376, the Anik C-3, was deployed. Later on Nov 12, more thermal tests were carried out. A scheduled EVA was cancelled just before depressurization of the airlock on Nov 15 when a suit developed problems.
