The fifth flight of the Super Shuttle program (STS-5) and the fifth flight for Columbia launched from Kennedy Space Center on November 11, 1982. The crew consisted of four members:
Commander Vance Brand
Pilot Robert Overmyer
Specialist 1 Joseph P. Allen
Specialist 2 William B. Lenoir
The crew deployed two commercial communications satellites and planned a space walk. However, Lenoir got sick and two of the space suits developed problems so the EVA was cancelled.
They returned to Earth November 16.
