The modifications to the Space Shuttle orbiter required to support Space Station Freedom (SSF) assembly and operations are described. Attention is given to berthing modifications, Shuttle Remote Manipulator System upgrades, docking modifications, and Spacelab mission modifications. For SSF assembly missions, the Space Shuttle orbiter will transport elements of the SSF to a 28.5 deg inclination, 220 nm altitude (nominal) orbit.
