Кстати, и НАСА с Википедией согласна насчет полезной нагрузки челноков
Привет!

The basic cargo-lift capability for a due east (28.5 degrees) launch is 55,000 pounds to a 110-nautical-mile (126-statute-mile) orbit using OV-103 (Discovery) or OV-104 (Atlantis) to support a 4-day satellite deploy mission. This capability will be reduced approximately 100 pounds for each additional nautical mile of altitude desired by the customer.
The payload capability for the same satellite deploy mission with a 57-degree inclination is 41,000 pounds.
