For a long time I have been simply regarding the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS)
as simply a big firework for kicking a payload to a higher orbit.  However,
my cosy view has been disturbed lately by references to more sophisticated
attributes.  I would be very grateful if someone could give a description of
its architecture and capabilities.

By the way, I missed the Atlantis scrub while on holiday:  could anyone tell
me the reasons please.  I did hear something about software problems at T-31s.

Thanks,
  Kevin
