Here is the Space Shuttle Manifest as published by the Jan. 1991 issue of Spaceflight. Note new NASA policy of not giving exact dates (except for the next mission) which follows what Arianespace do with their manifests. It appears that NASA might have already changed this manifest since a recent Payload Summary indicated that STS-42 would be launched in Nov. 1991 and STS-47 in Aug. 1992. I would like to thank Chris Gosnell (cjg@stl.stc.co.uk) for explaining what EDO and MPEC stand for.

Here is the Space Shuttle Manifest as given in the 4 Feb. 1991 issue of
the NASA Mixed Fleet Manifest. There is not much change from the last manifest
published in Dec. 1990. I've organised this manifest so that you can easily
pin it on your wall and see what the next mission is. On a seperate page are
NASA's plans from the 4th quarter of 1993 to the 3rd quarter of 1996 (in real
time, not Fiscal Year time). Shuttle assignments and dates are not given for
these later flights.

Here is the Space Shuttle Manifest as given in release 91-44 "NASA issues
changes to shuttle manifest" 21 Mar. 1991. This new manifest reflects changes
caused by STS-39 being delayed due to cracked external tank door hinges on
Discovery. The official manifest only gives the schedule to Sep. 1992. For
beyond Sep. 1992 I've used the Feb. mixed fleet manifest and tried to predict
what the manifest will be. Note that there is 7 months between the deployment
and retrieval of EURECA, the same as in the the previous manifest.
I've organised this manifest so that you can easily pin it on your wall and
see what the next mission is.
