A mission duration of approximately 169 hours is planned for the fourth flight of the space shuttle flight which serves to: (1) demonstrate ascent, onorbit, and entry performance under conditions more demanding than STS-3 conditions; (2) conduct long duration thermal soak tests; and (3) conduct scientific and applications research with attached payloads. The final countdown sequence and flight sequence of events are given. Abort capability is discussed as well as preflight, inflight, and postflight operational medical activities. The five NASA experiments, three instrumentation packages to support flight test requirements, and two student experiments carried as payloads are described. A Defense Department cargo identified as DOD 82-1 is also being carried.
