The earliest abort once around (AOA) time for the first orbital flight test (OFT-1) mission is determined. The latest estimates of vehicle weights and propulsion for OFT-1 are used. Trade analyses to indicate variations in AOA time for shuttle subsystem changes (such as orbital maneuvering system (OMS) or reaction control system (RCS) propellant loadings) are included. In addition, the effects of first stage attitude steering as a function of relative velocity for a nominal profile are presented. Data are presented to indicate the effect of designing first stage steering for earliest AOA time and then having engine out at times after the design point.
