STS-5 orbital elements, courtesy of the Goddard Space Flight Center:

Epoch time: 82317.00027189 (Nov 13 1982 00:00:023.491 UTC)
Inclination: 28.4686 deg
Right Ascension of Ascending Node: 57.6164 deg
Eccentricity: .0016157
Argument of Perigee: 263.4690 deg
Mean anomaly at epoch: 52.2153 deg
Mean Motion: 15.86499833 orbits/day

some secondary numbers:
Semi Major Axis: 6690.25 km
Anomalistic Period: 90.765846 min
Apogee: 327.71 km
Perigee: 306.09 km

I derived these elements from a position-velocity fix taken at the epoch
time.  I understand that the measurements of position are accurate to
about 100 meters.
