(1) For launches where reflight insurance is issued, the fraction of the
launch cost indemnified is the failure level for that flight.
For launches where reflight insurance is not issued, a rough
estimate is made as to the fraction of the launch cost that
would have been indemnified.
(2) LEO given is 300nmi altitude [S].
(3) The bipropellant (Isp=323) USTM has a dry weight of approximately 1600LBS
which must be subtracted from the total weight to determine weight
available for electronics, power, communication and fuel. The USTM
provides station-keeping and course correction in addition to
transfer and apogee burns.
(4) According to [S] escape requires 170kg MMH/NTO fuel with USTM.
(5) 200nmi altitude 37.9d inclination [S].
(6) 400nmi altitude [S].
(7) Includes Conestoga apogee kick stage weight.

(9) For unknown data, conservative figures for polar orbit can be
estimated by dividing LEO weight by 2.
(10) Circular orbit and <0.02d inclination error to 3 sigma [S].
(11) Reduced payload for upper stage with thrust vector control. 1 sigma [S].
Figures given as "...." are to be included in a future release.
Information sources are indicated by a source code within square brackets.
For example [H] means the associated information and subsequent information
comes from the 1989 Hughes Corp. Survey with dollars given in 1989 dollars.
Source codes: H = 1989 Hughes Corp. Survey
