There is not much change from the last manifest published in Dec. 1990. I've organised this manifest so that you can easily pin it on your wall and see what the next mission is. On a seperate page are NASA's plans from the 4th quarter of 1993 to the 3rd quarter of 1996 (in real time, not Fiscal Year time). Shuttle assignments and dates are not given for these later flights.
