By Astrophilatelie Martin


June 27, 1982, Columbia STS 4 launched from Cape Canaveral firing line 39A with astronauts Thomas Mattingly and Harry Hartsfield on board. In the shuttle bay, Cirris, an infrared telescope for detecting missile launches that can't work (optical cover did not come off). Usage of Cfes Electrophoresis Apparatus for pharmaceutical use. Astronauts experiment with the production of anti-hemophilic substances from beta cells for diabetics. First load of experience from the private sector (universities, industries, individuals). Trying scaffolding in the sas. Last test flight. Back on July 4, 1982 for a flight of 7 days 1 hour 9 minutes and 113 Earth orbits.
