I have as copy of the shuttle manifest. Has this been posted yet? Does anyone want to see it? If I get ten yes's, then I'm going to post it. -- ============================================================================== /-\ /\ | -- Larry Yang __|_/ | | Sun Microsystems, Inc. | | | /--\ /\/-\/--\ Mountain View, CA 94043 /-|\ \ / | | || || | lyang@sun.COM \_/ \ \__/| /--/\/| \/--| / {ihnp4|hplabs|seismo}!sun!lyang __|/ __|/ / / / / (a REAL signature) \_/ \_/ ==============================================================================

Here's a complete shuttle manifest and some additional launch dates. The information was extracted from an article in CANOPUS (See companion posting.) dated 88/09/01. The schedule is being posted separately from the usual CANOPUS postings because of its general interest. The following comments are from CANOPUS. 1990 will be a busy year for space science with Hubble, Astro, the Gamma Ray Observatory, Space Life Sciences-1, Ulysses, and ATLAS-1 missions being flown. The first two unclassified military Shuttle payloads will also be flown, one carrying infrared telescopes and the other carrying the Starlab laser targeting Spacelab mission. In the manifest given below, a number in the first column denotes a Space Shuttle mission, and an E denotes an expendable launch vehicle. For clarity, only expendables carrying space science payloads are listed. STS DATE PAYLOAD/COMMENTS 26 9/88 TDRS-C. Resumes missions. 27 11/88 DOD. 29 2/89 TDRS-D; also carrying SSBUV-1 (Solar Spectral Backscatter UV) 30 4/89 Magellan (Venus radar mapper) E 5/89 Cosmic Background Explorer 28 7/89 DOD 33 8/89 DOD 34 10/89 Galileo (Jupiter orbiter/probe + inner solar system mini-tour) 32 11/89 Syncom IV launch; LDEF retrieval 36 12/89 DOD 31 2/90 Hubble Space Telescope E 2/90 ROSAT (Roentgen Satellit; West Germany) 35 3/90 ASTRO-1 + BBRXT (Broad Band X-ray Telescope) 37 4/90 Gamma Ray Observatory 38 5/90 DOD 40 6/90 Space Life Science-1 E 6/90 Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite 39 7/90 CIRRIS (Cryogenic IR Radiance Instrument for Shuttle), IBSS (Infrared Background Survey of Shuttle; Spacelab-2 IR telescope on SPAS platform); Teal Ruby (IR aircraft tracking system) 41 9/90 Starlab (DOD laser targeting tests) 42 10/90 Ulysses (international solar polar mission) 43 11/90 TDRS-E 44 12/90 ATLAS-1 (Atmospheric and Terrestrial Laboratory Applications in Space) 45 1/91 Tethered Satellite System 1; GPS navigation satellite 46 2/91 DOD 47 4/91 IML-1 (International Microgravity Laboratory) 48 5/91 WAMDII (Wide-Angle Michaelson Imaging Interferometer), GPS, EURECA (European Retrievable Carrier) (E 5/91 planetary alternative launcher) E 6/91 Small Explorer-1 49 7/91 Spacelab J (U.S./Japan) 50 8/91 Spacehab-1, LAGEOS (Laser Geodynamics Satellite), INMARSAT E 8/91 Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer 51 9/91 Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite E 9/91 Small Explorer-2 E 10/91 Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite 52 12/91 Spacelab D-2 (West Germany) 53 12/91 ASTRO-2, EUERCA retrieval E 1/92 Small Explorer-3 54 2/92 Shuttle Radar Lab-1; first flight of replacement orbiter (OV-105) 55 3/92 USML-1 (U.S. Microgravity Lab-1; extended duration 56 4/92 SHEAL (Shuttle High-Energy Astrophysics Laboratory); GEOSTAR, ORFEUS (unidentified SPAS payload) 57 5/92 Advanced Communications Technology Satellite, USMP-1 (U.S. Micrgravity Platform) 58 6/92 ATLAS-2, Satcom E 6/92 Small Explorer-4 59 7/92 Space Life Sciences-2 (extended duration planned) 60 7/92 Industrial Space Facility-1 E 7/92 Geotail ISTP (International Solar-Terrestrial Program) 61 8/92 DOD 62 9/92 DOD E 9/92 Mars Observer 63 10/92 IML-2 64 10/92 Spacehab, Geostar commercial navigation satellite 65 11/92 TDRS-F 66 12/92 DOD E 12/92 Wind ISTP 67 1/93 ATLAS-3; CRISTA (SPAS payload, not identified) E 1/93 Small Explorer-5 68 2/93 Industrial Space Facility 69 3/93 Shuttle Radar Lab 70 4/93 EURECA-2, USMP-2 (U.S. Microgravity Platform) 71 5/93 DOD 72 6/93 SFU retrieval (not identified), GEOSTAR-3 E 6/93 Polar ISTP E 6/93 Small Explorer-6 73 7/93 USML-2 (extended duration mission) 74 8/93 Spacehab 3, AAFE (Aeroassist Flight Experiment) 75 9/93 INMARSAT-2, Garvity Probe-B1 -- Steve Willner Phone 617-495-7123 Bitnet: willner@cfa 60 Garden St. FTS: 830-7123 UUCP: willner@cfa Cambridge, MA 02138 USA Internet: willner@cfa.harvard.edu
