Missions højdepunkter

Det var den anden rumfærgemission udelukkende administreret af forsvarsministeriet (DOD (engelsk):Department of Defense). Lasten var klassificeret, men det meddeltes, at to satellitter (DSCS-III (engelsk):Defense Sattelite Communications System) opsendt til stationært kredsløb af et øvre rakettrin ((engelsk):Inertial Upper Stage) DSCS satellitterne benytter X-bånds ((engelsk):X-band) frekvenserne 8/7 Ghz. Hver af DSCS-III satellitterne er designet med en levetid på 10 år, men mange af DSCS satellitterne er stadig i kredsløb i dag og har i høj grad overskredet deres levetid, men fungerer stadig med gode resultater.
