Question Shuttle Mission Naming

hi all you space buffs
i once found or to be more precise stubled across an article at nasa homepage that described the criterias that make up the STSxxx mission designation/name
having not being able to find it again i wonder does anybody of you know this?
now i believe it is just incremental but in the beginning they were different
like one being STS 124 next STS214 or something
/Håkan

Here's an article on it... http://enterfiringroom.ksc.nasa.gov/...STSNumbers.htm

I remember reading that part of the reason for switching to the (old) new system, 41B and such, was so that there wouldn't be an STS-13...

hi muffin, you're the man
i have been looking for this inf for abour 3 years now, and one thread here and presto...
they really had some complicated naming going on there for a while, glad they settled for sequential naming instead so you know where in the timeline a particular mission is
once again thank you very much for helping solve the mystery
best regards Håkan
