Rocket launches in1985
The Space Shuttle reaches its peak flight rate: nine missions in a single calendar year, including Atlantis's debut on STS-51-J in October. In June, the Soyuz T-13 crew pulls off a remarkable rescue of the power-dead Salyut 7 station, manually docking and bringing it back to life.
