The status of Orbiter launch planning is reviewed, with consideration given to major structure elements, subsystem and component development, readiness for launch, and follow-on Orbiters. It is noted that timelines in the completion of each increment of development of the first Orbital Flight Vehicle become increasingly crucial as the scheduled launch date approaches. Concurrent with the testing and finalization of this vehicle's software and hardware construction are the preliminary developmental stages of future Shuttle Orbiters.
