Landing: December 7, 1996, 6:49:05 a.m. EST, Kennedy Space Center, Florida

Space Shuttle: Columbia

STS-80 was the final shuttle flight of 1996 and was highlighted by the successful deployment, operation and retrieval of two free-flying research spacecraft. The two planned extravehicular activities (EVAs) were canceled during the mission because the crew could not open the outer airlock hatch.
