This section describes the results from STS-73 as derived from post-flight analyses of the on-board stored EEPROM processed data. During the mission, preliminary calibrations and accelerations were reported in near-real time by Lewis Research Center with calibration support from Canopus Systems. 2.1 STS-73 (USML-2) Mission Plan
