Summary[edit]

Description
English: KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — The Space Shuttle Discovery and its five-man crew were launched from pad 39-B at 11:37 a.m. September 29, 1988. As STS-26 embarks on its four day mission, the event marks America's return to manned space flight. On the first day of orbit, the crew deployed their primary payload, the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS-C). The Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) then boosted the satellite into a geosynchronous altitude from low Earth orbit. The crew members of STS-26 are: Commander Rick Hauck; Pilot Richard Covey; and Mission Specialists Dave Hilmers, Mike Lounge, and George "Pinky" Nelson.
