This Mission is a test flight of the Orbiter
vehicle after a rough landing on its last 
flight. In light of the special maintenance 
just performed  it is important to be wary for 
system failures during this shakedown flight.  
Your mission profile is: Launch, orbit the earth 
for 12 hours at 215 km then 12 hours at 260 km, 
followed by deorbiting and landing at Edwards 
Air Force Base.
@The Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) 
allows scientists to expose experiments to space 
over a long period of time.  Your mission is to 
orbit a set of experiments from the European 
Space Agency in an LDEF vehicle into an orbit of 
240 km (at 29 degrees) with the RMS.   You will
also launch a Telstar satellite from an orbit of 
285 km (at 30 degrees).   Upon completion,
deorbit to land at Edwards Air Force Base.
@The deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope 
will allow astronomers to see further into the 
universe than ever before.  You will use the RMS 
to deploy the telescope in an orbit of 300 km.   
After deployment you should land  at the White 
Sands landing site.
@The Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) 
contains experiments that have been exposed to 
space for an extended period of time.  Your 
flight plan starts with launching the Orbiter 
and maneuvering to a matching orbit with the 
LDEF.  After matching orbits use the MMU to 
retrieve the LDEF and place it into the payload 
bay.  Be sure to lock the LDEF into place once 
it is in the bay.  The designated landing site 
for this mission is Edwards Air Force Base.
@This mission includes the deployment of two 
communications satellites, a Westar and an 
Intelsat.  You are to launch the Orbiter and 
bring it to an orbit of 240km (at 29 degrees)
in order to launch the Westar satellite.  Next
you will maneuver the Orbiter into an orbit of 
260km (at 28 degrees) to deploy the Intelsat.
Make sure to test each satellite before you
launch them.  Upon completion of your orbital
objectives, deorbit and land at the White Sands
landing site.
@Your flight plan calls for you to deploy a 
Leasat satellite. After launching the Orbiter 
you will test and then deploy the Leasat 
satellite into orbit at 240km (orbital angle 
of 29 degrees).  Deorbit for a landing at
Edwards Air Force Base.
@The TDRS satellite is capable of providing 
tracking, telemetry, data, and command services 
for the Orbiter and a variety of other space 
vehicles. Your flight plan includes launching 
the Orbiter and deploying the TDRS satellite in 
an orbit of 295km (at 30 degrees).  The TDRS
will then propell itself into a higher orbit.
Make sure to test the satellite before you
launch it.  After deployment you should deorbit
and land the Orbiter at Edwards Air Force Base.
@              *** CLASSIFIED ***
This is an official military mission. You are to 
first test and then deploy a classified military 
satellite into an orbit of 260km (at 29 degrees).
After completion of your orbital objectives you
will deorbit and proceed to land at the White
Sands landing site.
@              *** CLASSIFIED *** 
A military reconnaissance satellite needs to be 
recovered and returned to earth so that its 
recorded data can be analyzed. You will need to 
match orbits with the satellite and use the MMU 
to maneuver the satellite into the bay.  Make 
sure to lock the satellite down. Upon completion 
of your orbital activities deorbit and land at 
Edwards Air Force Base.
@The Hubble Space Telescope, which is used to 
allow astronomers to view deep into space, has 
been damaged. You will launch the Orbiter and 
repair the telescope. After matching orbits with 
the telescope, use the MMU to go out and repair 
it.  If the telescope cannot be repaired you 
will need to maneuver the telescope into the bay 
for return to Earth.  Make sure to lock the 
telescope into the bay if you are forced to 
return it to Earth.  The landing site for this 
mission is Edwards Air Force Base.
@A Westar satellite has malfunctioned. You are
to repair or retrieve the satellite.  After 
matching orbits with the Westar use the MMU to 
repair it.  If the satellite cannot be repaired 
you will need to maneuver the satellite into the 
bay, lock it down,  and return to Earth. The 
landing site for this mission is Edwards Air 
Force Base.
@A Palapa satellite has ceased transmission and 
must be returned to Earth. Launch the Orbiter 
into an appropriate orbit to  retrieve the 
crippled Palapa.  After matching orbits with it 
use the MMU to place the satellite into the bay 
and lock it down. Edwards Air Force Base is the 
landing site.
@This is a space station construction mission. 
Your objective is to take up a new module to add 
to the frame of the U.S. Space Station. You will 
need to match orbits with the space station 
frame and use the RMS to remove the module from 
the bay then use the MMU to go out and attach it 
to the the existing space station assembly.  
When you have attached the module return to 
Edwards Air Force Base.
@This mission is to rendezvous with the U.S. 
Space Station.  After a computer controlled 
launch you will use the Orbital Display on the 
CRT to help fly to the Station.  After the 
rendezvous you will deorbit for a landing at 
Edwards Air Force Base.
@Your mission is to rendezvous with a Telstar 
satellite that has had an electronics 
malfunction and repair it using the MMU. If you 
cannot repair the satellite, put it in the bay 
for return to earth.  After your repair or 
recovery is complete deorbit and land at Edwards 
Air Force Base.
@Your mission is to rendezvous with a crippled 
Westar satellite and repair it using the MMU.  
If you cannot accomplish the repair, leave the 
satellite in orbit.  When you complete your 
Orbital activities deorbit and land at Edwards 
Air Force Base.
