NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19960001128: Shuttle flight data and in-flight anomaly list. STS-1 through STS-50, and STS-52 through STS-56. Revision T

by: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

This report contains mission data for space shuttle flights and consists of three sections. The first section is a listing of shuttle flight data for flights STS-1 through STS-55 gathered during the mission evaluation process. The second section is a listing of all orbiter in-flight anomalies arranged in order by affected Work Unit Codes of the failed items from shuttle flights STS-1 through STS-50 and STS-52 through STS-56. The third section consists of data derived from the as-flown orbiter attitude timelines and crew activity plans for each mission. The data are presented in chart form and show the progression of the mission from launch to entry interface with the varying orbiter attitudes (roll, pitch, and yaw) and the time duration in each attitude. The chart also shows the orbiter's velocity vector, i.e., which of the orbiter's body axes is pointing forward along the orbital path. The Beta angle, the angle between the sun vector and the orbital plane, is also shown for each 12-hour period of the mission.
