Rev 9 Feb 2010 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.

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 publicly 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.
