This report presents the results of analysis of a near term DOD geosynchronous equatorial payload deployment mission utilizing the Space Shuttle vehicle in conjunction with an Interim Upper Stage (IUS). This baseline issue of the report concentrates on development of a nominal mission plan for a particular launch data and time. Such items as attitude timelines, approximate RCS/OMS propellant utilization histories, ground tracks, ground station coverage time-lines and navigation accuracy at IUS deployment opportunities are included. Principal emphasis is placed on development of an IUS development timeline for near term missions. (Author)
