From _NASA Activities_, June 1989: NASA has announced the order of planned Space Shuttle flights between the Galileo mission to Jupiter and the Astro Spacelab mission. After the Galileo mission, currently manifested for October 12, 1989, the sequence of flights will be: the DoD mission, previously delayed to "protect" the Galileo launch window; the Syncom IV deployment/LDEF retrieval mission; a DoD mission; the Hubble Space Telescope mission; and the Astro mission. NASA management decided to fly only one mission between Magellan and Galileo to be as certain as possible that the Shuttle program would be ready to launch Galileo early in its planetary window.
