- NASA documentary about STS-51-A, a 1984 mission, with the astronauts presenting their mission and commenting on the footage shown. The video was re-edited to insert higher-quality HD footage where available; with the rest being AI upscaled. Colors were remastered for consistency, balance and highlight/shadow detail.
Original footage from NASA. Sound and image cleanup, geometry, and color restoration by RetroSpace HD.
=======================================
STS-51-A (formerly STS-19) was the 14th flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program and the second flight of Space Shuttle Discovery. The mission launched from Kennedy Space Center on November 8, 1984, and landed just under eight days later on November 16, 1984.
STS-51-A marked the first time a shuttle deployed two communications satellites and retrieved from orbit two other communications satellites. The Canadian Anik D2 and Syncom IV-1 satellites were both successfully deployed by the crew of Discovery. Palapa B2 and Westar 6, meanwhile, had been deployed during the STS-41-B mission earlier in the year, but had been placed into improper orbits due to the malfunctioning of their kick motors; they were both safely recovered and returned to Earth during STS-51-A.
Crew: Frederick H. Hauck, David M. Walker, Joseph P. Allen, Anna Lee Fisher, Dale A. Gardner

Wow. Thank you for this. One of my favorite missions seen in the most beautiful ways. I love this because it shows how wonderful human achievement can be and what I hope we can get back to. Any chance of an HD upscale of STS-41B?
Retro Space HD thank you very much for your amazing work and remaster this incredible mission. On November 8th it will be its 40th anniversary and we will remember it more than these days.
Hail Space Shuttle Program ❤️
Cool to see the MMU in action. This crew is a trip, nice seeing astronauts having fun, considering how busy their orbital schedule keeps them.
The color/light balancing and split-tone in this remaster are exceptionally done. Thank you for preserving this historical documentation & making it accessible in a modernized manner while still retaining the integrity of the content!
Great work and fantastic footage. Thanks!
Always happy when you post. Always qualify
Analogue instrument panels, so cute ^_^
Excellent work, as always. Great to see such high-quality images from the Shuttle era.
