Unofficial Space Shuttle Manifest

Rev 25 Feb 2008
The following is the Unofficial Space Shuttle Manifest. This file
gives the
launch dates, orbiter, and payloads for upcoming shuttle launches. The
launch
time and orbit parameters are also given where available. Note that
the
launch date and time are officially set about two weeks before launch
at the
Flight Readiness Review (which usually selects the date and time in
the
manifest). The manifest is also subject to a lot of shuffling and
date
changing (which leads to the STS numbers not being in order) so beware
when
planning to see a shuttle launch.
Please send changes and updates to:

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