Earth launch as recorded in the reviewed NASA clock source. The individually viewed summary (printed 2-91, PDF 109) explicitly gives actual local launch 03:13:04 EST alongside finer UTC 08:13:03.9, and local main-gear touchdown 05:28:57 PST agreeing with UTC 13:28:57. Whole-second printed actual clocks are adopted; finer Wikipedia values are consistent with that rounding. Wheel stop 13:29:52 is distinct. Shannon Lucid launches with the six-person crew, remains aboard Mir, and is excluded from the five-person return roster. Ronald Sega’s payload-command role is separately sourced. Mir station residents are not classified as passengers on these Earth phases.
