This new manifest reflects changes caused by STS-39 being delayed due to cracked external tank door hinges on Discovery. The official manifest only gives the schedule to Sep. 1992. For beyond Sep. 1992 I've used the Feb. mixed fleet manifest and tried to predict what the manifest will be. Note that there is 7 months between the deployment and retrieval of EURECA, the same as in the the previous manifest. I've organised this manifest so that you can easily pin it on your wall and see what the next mission is.
