Peterson became part of NASA Astronaut Group 7 in September 1969 after the MOL program was cancelled.[1]: 255  He served on the astronaut support crew for Apollo 16.[1]: 254 

Peterson retired from the United States Air Force with the rank of colonel after having completed more than 24 years of active service, but continued his assignment as a NASA astronaut in a civilian capacity.[4] His areas of responsibility included engineering support, man/machine interface, and safety assessment.[5]

Medical issues likely prevented Peterson from training as a space shuttle pilot.[6] He was a mission specialist on STS-6, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on April 4, 1983.[5] He was accompanied by Paul J. Weitz (spacecraft commander), Col. Karol J. Bobko (Pilot), and Dr. Story Musgrave (Mission Specialist).[5] The crew had a combined 111 years of flying experience and an average age of 48 years and 5 months.[7] The crew was dubbed "The Geritol Bunch" for their high experience.[7]

During this maiden voyage of the spacecraft Challenger, the STS-6 crew conducted numerous experiments in materials processing, recorded lightning activities, deployed the first tracking and data relay satellite (TDRS-A), and activated three Getaway Specials. Peterson and Musgrave conducted the Shuttle program's first extravehicular activity (EVA) to test the new suit, the Shuttle airlock, and new tools and techniques for construction and repair outside a spacecraft.[8][1]: 254  After 120 hours of orbital operations STS-6 landed on the concrete runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on April 9, 1983. With the completion of this flight, Don Peterson had logged 4 hours 15 minutes in extravehicular activity and a total of 120 hours in space.[5]
