Mission Payload
editWould it be possible to get a table detailing the approximate masses and locations of the items (Hubble instruments) carried on the orbiter, a-la the STS-119 article? --Resplendent (talk) 21:28, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how relevant those types of tables are to mission articles, honestly. Plus, they do not ever have sources given for them, so without a source, I would not suggest adding it. Does the weight and location of the individual payload items affect the mission? No, which is why I don't personally think those are really necessary. They mean nothing to the average reader (remember the average reader has no technical knowledge), so while "techy" shuttle aficionados may find them of mild interest, I do not personally think the tables add anything of value to the article.

- I guess there's no point if they can't be sourced, was under the impression they were. I guess it's not that big of a deal. --Resplendent (talk) 17:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- Stupid question: Isn't the airlock also part of the payload? It's not an integral part of the Shuttle and you don't have to carry it with you. So I would consider it payload. But that's only my opinion --2.246.74.137 (talk) 00:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Payload bay contents is now listed - which is exactly why I came to this article. It's well worth keeping. - Rod57 (talk) 19:20, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Relative Navigation Sensor experiment
editThe Relative Navigation Sensor (RNS) experiment is mentioned - Apparently it met its stated goals.Flight Results of the HST SM4 Relative Navigation Sensor System - Rod57 (talk) 11:08, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
How was Atlantis able to host 7 crew for 13 days without the EDO pallet lost with Columbia
editHow was Atlantis able to host 7 crew for 13 days without the EDO pallet lost with Columbia ? What power did the Orbiter and the payload need ? Was Orbiter able to draw power from Hubble ? or had more LH2 and LOX tanks been fitted in Atlantis ? - Rod57 (talk) 19:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Decision-making at NASA
editDid O'Keefe really make his decision alone? Even though he was an administrator, I'm doubtful that the decision making process at NASA works like that. Our only sources for this are internal memos. Tigerdude9 (talk) 15:45, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
