Auto Credit Based on CedandRossSpaceAgency's STS-51-F

STS-5 is a mission that was the first commercial mission of the shuttle and delivered the first satellites from the shuttle, SBS 3 and Anik C3. SBS 3 was a satellite bought by Satellite Business Systems that is retired and put to a Graveyard orbit. Anik C3 was a satellite from Telesat that distributed Canada's pay television networks.
Tip: After deploying SBS 3 from the shuttle, activate the next 2 stages on the shuttle so that you can deploy Anik-C3. Also this is my first launch of my PAM-D on a shuttle. I suggest after you open the cargo bay doors and open the antenna (to fully deploy the antenna, Activate AG 7 then both Slider 1 and 2 then turn AG 7 off), you close the cradles. You close the Anik-C3 cradle first then the SBS-3 Cradle. Then you need to face up and point the tail retrograde to the orbit. Open the front cradle (Set Slider 2 to 0) then activate AG 11 to deploy SBS-3. Then close that cradle (slide slider 2 back to 1), take the satellite to it's geostationary orbit (activate 7 stages and turn off both the Apogee kick motor and thrusters and Activate the PAM-D) to raise the orbit to GTO the separate the satellite and ignite the Apogee Kick Motor at the Apogee and Raise the Periapsis to about the same altitude as the Apogee. Turn off the Apogee Kick Motor when you raise the periapsis to be about the same as the apogee and activate AG 2, AG 4 and AG 5. Then rename that satellite to SBS-3 and switch back to the shuttle. Open the cradle of Anik-C3 (Set Slider 1 to 0) and Deploy It. Follow the same steps like SBS-3. (except this time, the slider you need to slide back to 1 is Slider 1), rename the satellite to Anik-C3, Then set the inclination of the shuttle to exactly 0, then when at the right moment, deorbit and land the shuttle at daytime to Runway 9.
