Larry Yang
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

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.
