Reference Stardate -1/8000 through -1/8900
1980
- RSD -1/8000: Space Shuttle flights begin as available payload space is booked full. Early missions will demonstrate the many uses of zero-gravity. The Space Shuttle program will remain in operation for twelve years.[1]
1982
- RSD -1/8200: Galileo departs from Earth orbit for Jupiter. It will descend into the Jovian atmosphere behind a heat shield, radioing back data until the increasing pressure crushes the hull, about 30 minutes after entry.[1]
- RSD -1/8200: The Lunar Polar Orbiter transmits data containing surface chemistry and heat flow on the moon.[1]
1983
- RSD -1/8300: The Space Telescope is orbited. This 2.4m aperture optical telescope, working above atmospheric turbulence, will revolutionize man's view of the universe.[1]
- RSD -1/8300: The Venus Atmospheric Balloon enters the Venusian atmosphere, sending back data from its gondola of scientific instruments. It circles the planet on the stratospheric winds for several days.[1]
1985
- RSD -1/8500: A probe flies past Comet Halley with a battery of instruments that measure its tenuous tail, and continues on to encounter Comet Tempel 2 in 1988.[1]
1986
- RSD -1/8600: The Multiple Asteroid Rendezvous Mission will view these bodies up close in space with an eye on the future mining of these interplanetary travelers.[1]
- RSD -1/8601 (January): The Romulan Star Empire begins to expand spinward.[2]
- RSD -1/8601.28 (28 January): The Space Shuttle Challenger explodes shortly after launch, killing all seven crew members aboard. This is the worst tragedy to date in Earth's fledgling space program.[3]
- RSD -1/8602 (February): Humans launch their first permanent, orbital space station.[3]
1987
1988
- RSD -1/8800: The Mars Sample Return Probe is launched. It will retrieve soil and rocks for analysis back on Earth when it returns in 1991.[1]
