Author	Topic: Source(s) for space shuttle mission facts
MCroft04 Member Posts: 1634 From: Smithfield, Me, USA Registered: Mar 2005	posted 10-10-2015 03:32 PM I'm preparing for the ASF Space Rendezvous 2015 in November and am collecting some facts about individual shuttle missions to add to the photos that I plan to get autographed. However, I'm having trouble with the number of orbits for some missions. For instance, on STS-80 the official NASA pages gives 279 orbits whereas the official NASA bio gives 278 orbits. Is there a source where I can find the real number?
