The final JSSW launch went into an orbit with a much higher apogee. The satellite reentered after two years in space.

STS-80 was notable for being the last flight of Story Musgrave, who had now made 6 space flights and became the oldest space traveller to date. Launch of STS-80 was delayed for several weeks because of concerns about nozzle erosion on STS-79. A two minute hold was called just prior to T-31s because of a small hydrogen leak.
STS-80 carried a set of scientific experiments. The third flight of the Wake Shield Facility and the third flight of the ASTRO-SPAS saw two free flyers out from the Shuttle at once for the first time. After launch on 1996 Nov 19, SPAS was deployed on Nov 20 carrying the ORFEUS ultraviolet telescope. Then on Nov 23 WSF was deployed, after several hours `scrubbing' out on the RMS arm. WSF was then recaptured on Nov 26, but SPAS remained free until Dec 4.
An extensive Space Station development spacewalk series, EDFT-5, was planned for STS-80, but had to be abandoned when Jernigan and Jones were unable to open the airlock door. After repressurization, Musgrave came in without a suit and tried to release the door himself - the air pressure would have kept the door safely closed, but in the event he was unsuccessful. After the flight, a loose part was discovered in the gear mechanism.

Apollo CSM 118 was stood down from its role as Skylab Rescue on 1973 Sep 9 (see SL-3). Launch as Skylab SL-4 was at 1401:23 on 1973 Nov 16. It reached a 154 x 224 km x 50.0 deg Earth orbit at 1411:10. The S-IVB stage separated at 1426:22.
The rendezvous burns began at 1624 with a 2-second SPS firing. By 1958 UT the ship was in a 412 x 421 km orbit, and rendezvous was complete by 2126. SL-4 docked at the axial port on the third attempt at 2202. The hatches were opened at 1430 on Nov 17. The CSM was powered down on Dec 4. Meanwhile, on 3 Dec the SA-209 rocket arrived at pad 39B with Apollo CSM 119 on top. CSM 119 would be Skylab Rescue with the Brand-Lind crew if a rescue were needed for this mission.
CSM 118 was powered up again on 1974 Feb 6. The crew had entered the spaceship by 0615 on Feb 8 and installed the docking probe at 0630. A test burn with the RCS thrusters was made at 0815. Undocking came at 1034 and was followed by a flyaround of Skylab. At 1100:07 an RCS sep burn changed the orbit from 433 x 456 km to 430 x 456 km. An SPS orbit shaping burn at 1132:54 lowered the orbit to 168 x 430 km. The SPS fired again at 1435:59 for the deorbit burn. The SM separated and the CM reentered, splashing down in the Pacific at 1516:55 on 1974 Feb 8. Landing was at 119 48 12W 31 18 12 N It was recovered by the USS New Orleans.
