The heaviest Shuttle flights are:

- Launch mass of orbiter

Total cargo mass:

Mass of deployed payload:


The IUS has been used on 15 Shuttle flights. The IUS itself is not reusable, but the tilt table and airborne support equipment (ASE) is; there have been three IUS ASEs flown. ASE-1 made only two flights, on STS-6 and on 51-L when it was destroyed. ASE-2 made 7 flights, and ASE-3, built to replace the lost ASE-1, has made 6 flights if as I suspect it was used on the current mission (haven't managed to confirm this). The previous flights of ASE-3 are believed to be STS-30 (Magellan), STS-33R, STS-43 (TDRS 5), STS-54 (TDRS 6) and STS-70 (TDRS 7).
