** The U. S. Navy's Commander Leroy Heath ( the pilot ) and Lieutenant Larry Monroe ( the bombardier / navigator ) establish a world flight-altitude record of 91, 450 feet ( 27, 874 m ), with payload, in an A-5 Vigilante twinjet bomber carrying a 1, 000 kilogram payload, and they better the previous world record by over four miles ( 6 km ).

The winged Space Shuttle orbiter was launched vertically, usually carrying four to seven astronauts ( although eight have been carried ) and up to 50, 000 lb ( 22, 700 kg ) of payload into low Earth orbit ( LEO ).

The payload of the packet consists of four addresses, the hardware and protocol address of the sender and receiver hosts.

Remarkably for a newly developed system, all four attempted launched were partly successful, the only failure occurring on the second launch when the payload was inserted into a lower orbit than planned.

He was selected as one of four payload specialists for Spacelab 2 on August 9, 1978, and after seven years of training he flew on STS-51-F / Spacelab-2.

The general opinion of the time was that a locomotive would draw up to four times its weight by adhesion alone ( assuming good conditions ), but Blenkinsop wanted more, and his engine, weighing five tons, regularly hauled a payload of ninety tons.

The Ariane 1 was a four stage vehicle ( fourth stage put satellite from GTO to GEO is usually not counted as part of rocket, because it is included in 1, 85 tons of payload ).

In addition, four un-pressurized payload platforms can be attached outside the starboard cone, on the Columbus External Payload Facility ( CEPF ).

| bombs = 5, 300 lb ( 2, 400 kg ) of payload on four external hardpoints, bombs were usually mounted on outer two pylons as the inner pairs were plumbed for 2 drop tanks which gave the Sabre a more useful range.

The Canadian Forces have since then acquired four CC-177 Globemaster III strategic airlift cargo aircraft, each capable of carrying a payload of up to 72, 000 kg, which were delivered in 2007.

It launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 3 October 1985, carrying a payload for the U. S. Department of Defense, and landed four days later, on 7 October.

| bombs = 1, 360 kg ( 3, 000 lb ) of payload on four external hardpoints, including a variety of bombs or Drop tanks

STS-5, the first mission with four crewmembers, clearly demonstrated the Space Shuttle as fully operational by the successful first deployment of two commercial communications satellites from the Orbiter's payload bay.

A suite of four technology experiments known as the Technology Experiments for Advancing Missions in Space ( TEAMS ) also flew in the Shuttle's payload bay.

The first amateur satellite, simply named OSCAR 1, was launched on December 12, 1961, barely four years after the launch of world's first satellite, Sputnik I. OSCAR 1 was the first satellite to be ejected as a secondary payload and subsequently enter a separate orbit.
