Note new NASA policy of not giving exact dates (except for the next mission) which follows what Arianespace do with their manifests. It appears that NASA might have already changed this manifest since a recent Payload Summary indicated that STS-42 would be launched in Nov. 1991 and STS-47 in Aug. 1992. I would like to thank Chris Gosnell (cjg@stl.stc.co.uk) for explaining what EDO and MPEC stand for.
