ISSIONS

: STS 51-I (Discovery) · Crew: Commander Joseph H. Engle, Pilot Richard O. Covey, Mission Specialist 1 James D. A. van Hoften, Mission Specialist 2 John M. Lounge, Mission Specialist 3 William F. Fisher · Launched: 27 August 1985 at 6:58:01 A.M. EDT from Kennedy Space Center, FL · Duration: 7 days, 2 hours, 17 minutes, 42 seconds · Landed: 3 September 1985 at 6:15:43 A.M. PDT, Edwards AFB, California · Mission Highlights: Deployment of the ASC-1 satellite owned by the American Satellite Company proceeded as planned. When the sunshield of the AUSSAT-1, owned by Australia, caught on the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm, Lounge deployed that satellite early. On Day Three, the crew deployed the SYNCOM IV-4 (also known as LEASAT-4) owned by Hughes Communications Services and leased to the United States Navy. On Day Five, the Discovery rendezvoused with the malfunctioning SYNCOM IV-3 satellite, which had been deployed by STS 51-D. Van Hoften and Fisher conducted the second on-orbit repair of a satellite during two spacewalks, while Lounge operated the RMS arm. The repairs involved the first manual grapple and deployment of a satellite by a spacewalking crewman. The crew also performed a materials processing mid-deck experiment, the Physical Vapor Transport of Organic Solids (PVTOS). STS-26 (Discovery) · Crew: Commander Frederick H. Hauck, Pilot Richard O. Covey, Mission Specialist 1 John M. Lounge, Mission Specialist 2 George D. Nelson, Mission Specialist 3 David C. Hilmers · Launched: 29 September 1988 at 11:37:00 A.M. EDT from Kennedy Space Center, FL · Duration: 4 days, 1 hour, 0 minutes, 11 seconds · Landed: 3 October 1988 at 9:37:11 A.M. PDT, Edwards AFB, California · Mission Highlights: STS-26 marked the return-to-flight mission after the STS 51-L tragedy. Lounge deployed the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS), and the crew conducted various experiments, including a Protein Crystal Growth experiment, two Shuttle Student Involvement Projects (SSIP), Infrared Communications Flight Experiment (IRCFE), Aggregation of Red Blood Cells (ARC), Isolelectric Focusing Experiment (IFE), Mesoscale Lightening Experiment (MLE), Phase Partitioning Experiment (PPE), and an Earth-Limb Radiance Experiment (MLE). The crew deployed a Ku-band antenna in the payload bay, but its telemetry was faulty. The crew tested new partial-pressure flights suits and assessed the new crew escape system. When the Flash Evaporator system iced up after ascent, the crew cabin temperature reached 87 degrees Fahrenheit.

STS-35 (Columbia) · Crew: Commander Vance D. Brand, Pilot Guy S. Gardner, Mission Specialist 1 Jeffrey A. Hoffman, Mission Specialist 2 John M. Lounge, Mission Specialist 3 Robert A. Parker, Payload Specialist 1 Samuel T. Durrance, Payload Specialist 2 Ronald A. Parise · Launched: 2 December 1990 at 1:49:01 A.M. EST from Kennedy Space Center, FL · Duration: 8 days, 23 hours, 5 minutes, 8 seconds · Landed: 10 December 1990 at 9:54:08 P.M. PST, Edwards AFB, California · Mission Highlights: As a dedicated astronomy mission, STS-35 made 24-hour observations from four astronomical instruments, the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT), the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE), the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT), and the Broad Band X-Ray Telescope (BBXRT), mounted in the cargo bay. Lounge led the Blue Shift in operating the equipment. Ground teams at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) assisted the crew in positioning the telescopes when both data display units malfunctioned. The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) operated the BBXRT from the ground. Other activities conducted by the crew included the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment-2 (SAREX-2) and the calibration of electrooptical sensors at the Air Force Maui Optical Site (AMOS). The crew also participated in Space Classroom Program: Assignment: The Stars with eighth and ninth grade students from schools around the MSFC and GSFC. A clogged drain forced the crew to use spare containers instead of dumping waste water. Approaching inclement weather at Edwards AFB caused the orbiter to land one day early. Lounge served as flight engineer for the mission. AWAR · · · · · · · · ·
