Rev 27 Feb 2006<br /><br />The following is the Unofficial Space Shuttle Manifest. This file gives the<br />launch dates, orbiter, and payloads for upcoming shuttle launches. The launch<br />time and orbit parameters are also given where available. Note that the<br />launch date and time are officially set about two weeks before launch at the<br />Flight Readiness Review (which usually selects the date and time in the<br />manifest). The manifest is also subject to a lot of shuffling and date<br />changing (which leads to the STS numbers not being in order) so beware when<br />planning to see a shuttle launch.<br /><br />Please send changes and updates to:<br /><br />Steven S.

Technical, lots of TLA's. Just<br /> remember, we warned you.<br /><br />Abbreviations used in manifest:<br /><br />STS - (Space Transportation System) number of the flight. The STS numbers<br />may not be in order due to delays in some missions and changes in schedule once<br />an STS number has been assigned.<br /><br />Date - Day Month Year - dd mm yy (Note that most launches are on Thursday.)<br /><br />Time - Earliest launch time. The "S" means "U.S. Eastern Standard Time" and<br />"D" means "U.S. Eastern Daylight Time". All launch times are derived from<br />publically available information.<br /><br />Missions to ISS have a 5-10 minute launch window, 51.60 degree inclination, and<br />a 328 km initial altitude.<br /><br />The abbreviations for the Orbiter names are<br />Dis Discovery (OV-103)<br />Atl Atlantis (OV-104)<br />End Endeavour (OV-105)<br /><br />Payload -
