Here is the shuttle manifest that you've all be waiting for. As someone suggested, thus is just a first cut at the schedule; we have to wait a few more rounds as the more influential payloads jostle for better positions. Payload Acronym List: -------------------- ASTRO: Ultraviolet Astronomy Telescope ATLAS: Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science COFS: Control of Flexible Structures EOS: Electrophoresis Operations in Space GPS: Global Positioning System IML: International Microgravity Laboratory MSL: Materials Science Laboratory SHARE: Space Station Heatpipe Advanced Radiator Experiment SLS: Space Life Sciences Laboratory SSBUV: Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultra-Violet Instrument TSS: Tethered Satellite System DOD: Department of Defense classified payload: Note the information on these payloads is unavailable.
