Data appearing in the October 1973 space shuttle traffic model were analyzed to determine the rendezvous requirements for the proposed shuttle flights occurring between 1980 and 1991. Four families of flights have been identified, namely, single-payload rendezvous, multiple-payload rendezvous, payload and tug rendezvous, and tug only rendezvous. Charts have been prepared which summarize the respective data. Observations are presented for each of the four flight families, and worst case flights are proposed from each family for further analysis. (Author)
