Even those of us who are directly associated with the space program frequently
become overwhelmed by the extensive use of acronyms.  Some frustrated person(s)
finally published a reference guide which lists most of the abbreviations used
in NASA.  I'm not sure, but I think its available to the general public.  I
have included below all of the information that I have about this hefty (300+
pages) publication.

NASA Reference Publication 1059
"Space Transportation System and Associated Payloads: 
 Glossary, Acronyms, and Abbreviations"
