GLS - 11/4/2006 6:00 AM#1 post so let's see if it works...I have some questions and I hope someone can anwser them:1) Is this new (or improved) ET still called SLWT or is there a new designation?2) Are FRCS "exclusive" to an orbiter or are they switched around like the OMS pods?3) What is the STS number of mission 41D? I think it was STS-14 before the RSLS abort, and 41F was STS-16. But after the missions were merged, I don't know if the "new" 41D sticked to STS-14, or if it changed to STS-16 because it moved to the 0884 launch slot (STS-16).

It was STS 41-D and the XXX didn't apply any moreThey still used the STS-XXX but it wasn't as a mission name, but as a "launch slot" based on when the vehicle could fly (I think...), and as missions got delayed and moved around, they would change slots. Example: the first planned launch slot in 86 was STS-33 on OV-099. Originally mission 61D (SL-4 or something) was to launch in 33, but after all the delays and moving around mission 51L launched in that slot. 34 was for mission 61E (ASTRO-1) on OV-102, slot 35 had mission 61F (Ulysses/Centaur-G Prime) on OV-099 and 36 was for mission 61G (Galileo/Centaur-G Prime) on OV-104.Does anyone know the answer for my STS-14/STS-16 question?

Martin FL - 15/4/2006 7:18 PMIf Shuttle missions are STS', what do we think CLV/CEV missions will be designated?
