In the series of Shuttle Status articles, there are
a number of acronyms that are meaningless to me and
I'd like your help to change that situation:

                  STS-28  -  COLUMBIA (OV 102)  -  LAUNCH PAD 39-B
                  ^^^                  ^^

                      STS-34  -  ATLANTIS (OV 104) - OPF BAY 2
                                                     ^^^^^^^^^

                     STS-33  -  DISCOVERY (OV 103)  -  OPF BAY 1
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^

                       STS-34 SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS - VAB/RPSF
                                                      ^^^^^^^^
Would you please tell me what the high-lighted terms mean.
				  ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks in advance!
