Yes. I don't know its title, but you will occasionally see the Mission Controller with one. I have a few pages copied from it for some stuff that I was working on. However, I believe that they use flight cards on the Shuttle missions. Since each mission is different and each Shuttle is different, it's better to generate a set of procedures and checklists cards for each flight. This would essentially be a specific "Dash-1" for each flight. You may remember discussions of sending new flight cards to the Shuttle during missions. Incidentally, the US Navy equivalent of the Dash-1 is the NATOPS manual. -- Mary Shafer shafer@skipper.dfrf.nasa.gov ames!skipper.dfrf.nasa.gov!shafer NASA Ames Dryden Flight Research Facility, Edwards, CA Of course I don't speak for NASA
