Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist. I've added a second, NASA, source. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:27, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but where does the article or source say that this particular shuttle Template:Tq? Or do all Shuttle-Centaurs fit into this same category? Yoninah (talk) 00:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
    "Originally scheduled to fly in 1986, the Centaur-G's use on board the space shuttle was cancelled after the Challenger accident that year. At the time of the tragedy, two Centaur-G Prime stages were in preparation to launch with NASA's Ulysses and Galileo planetary spacecraft to study the Sun and Jupiter, respectively." (The Ulysses probe to the Sun would have gone by way of the Jupiter.) "One of the Centaur-G Prime stages built for the shuttle is believed to have been modified for the launch of NASA's Cassini probe to Saturn atop a Titan IVB rocket in 1997." "The Space and Rocket Center had labeled the Centaur-G now being moved as a mockup, though there is some data that points to it being the other stage originally built for the program. Glenn Research Center's records identify it being a high-fidelity ground test article." [3]
