A. SpaceCalc

SpaceCalc is a Microsoft Excel workbook assembled by William Harwood that is loaded with shuttle and space station flight, timeline and statistical data. Macros are included to run various clocks and timers. NOTE: This is a constantly evolving work in progress; pages are updated as data becomes available from NASA. In some cases, worksheets will reflect data from the previous flight until the next mission is underway. The user is assumed to be familiar with Excel.
