MIXED FLEET MANIFEST NOTES AND SUMMARY




                             MIXED FLEET MANIFEST NOTES





THIS MANIFEST INCLUDES PAYLOAD FLIGHT ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE SPACE SHUTTLE AND
NASA EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE (ELV) MISSIONS THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 1998.

THE MANIFEST SERVES AS A BASELINE FOR PLANNING PURPOSES. PRIMARY AND COMPLEX
SECONDARY SPACE SHUTTLE PAYLOAD FLIGHT ASSIGNMENT CONFIRMATION IS MADE
APPROXIMATELY 19 MONTHS PRIOR TO LAUNCH. NON-COMPLEX SECONDARY PAYLOAD
ASSIGNMENTS ARE MADE 12 TO 8 MONTHS PRIOR TO LAUNCH.

FOR SPACE SHUTTLE FLIGHTS, PRIMARY AND COMPLEX SECONDARY PAYLOAD ASSIGNMENTS
ARE SHOWN THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 1998.  NON- COMPLEX SECONDARY PAYLOADS ARE SHOWN
ONLY ON FLIGHTS WHICH ARE 12 MONTHS OR LESS FROM LAUNCH.

THROUGHOUT THIS DOCUMENT, PENDING REQUIREMENTS ARE NOTED "FOR NASA PLANNING
PURPOSES (NOT CURRENTLY BUDGETED)."

SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH DATES ARE BEING SHOWN BY MONTH AND YEAR FROM NOW THROUGH
FISCAL YEAR 1994 (SEPTEMBER 1994).  THE MONTH SHOWN REPRESENTS A REASONABLE
EXPECTATION AS TO WHEN THE LAUNCH WILL OCCUR; HOWEVER, IN MOST CASES, NASA'S
PLANNING WILL BE AGAINST EARLIER LAUNCH DATE TARGETS. FROM FISCAL YEAR 1995
THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 1998 LAUNCHES ARE SHOWN BY QUARTER. AS ABOVE, NASA'S
PLANNING MAY BE AGAINST LAUNCH DATE TARGETS IN THE QUARTER PRIOR TO THE ONES
SHOWN.
