I've posted bits and pieces of this site, but I see they are STILL regularly adding new files... Take a look! While it's labeled the Virtual AGC - most of the files are relevant to all aspects of the STS program.

The Smithsonian Online Virtual Archives has the personal papers of Bruce McCandless, Sally Ride, Kathryn Sullivan and David Brown. There are of course training manuals, Flight Data Files, even T-38 handbooks throughout.

The shuttle section is nicely organized by mission and in high resolution.

The Space Shuttle Systems Handbooks added the past few months on the ibiblio.org site are absoultely outstanding. Crisp, clean fold out schematics! There is a nice Systems Handbook I saw for the IUS that I saw on there recently as well.

This is fabulous.

Does anyone know if/where Crew Activity Plans might be for some of the "later" 1986 missions, including the original Ulysses/Galileo (61F/61G) and EOM-1/2 (61K) missions? I've seen cover pages for their CAPs, but can't seem to find the CAPs themselves.

I'm also interested in FDFs for the pre 51L loss missions, especially the Centaur missions.

Speaking of - today I learned there is a FDF "course" with test questions!

Just a note, I see you got the title changed. I took it upon myself to rename all the posts following the initial one to match. I see you already have a guest excited and willing to share. I'll step away and let you monitor the thread on your own. Good luck.
