Would it be possible to get a table detailing the approximate masses and locations of the items (Hubble instruments) carried on the orbiter, a-la the
STS-119 article? --

I'm not sure how relevant those types of tables are to mission articles, honestly. Plus, they do not ever have sources given for them, so without a source, I would not suggest adding it. Does the weight and location of the individual payload items affect the mission? No, which is why I don't personally think those are really necessary. They mean nothing to the average reader (remember the average reader has no technical knowledge), so while "techy" shuttle aficionados may find them of mild interest, I do not personally think the tables add anything of value to the article.

I guess there's no point if they can't be sourced, was under the impression they were. I guess it's not that big of a deal. --

Stupid question: Isn't the airlock also part of the payload? It's not an integral part of the Shuttle and you don't have to carry it with you. So I would consider it payload. But that's only my opinion --

Payload bay contents is now listed - which is exactly why I came to this article. It's well worth keeping. -

How was Atlantis able to host 7 crew for 13 days without the EDO pallet lost with Columbia
How was Atlantis able to host 7 crew for 13 days without the
EDO pallet lost with Columbia ? What power did the Orbiter and the payload need ? Was Orbiter able to draw power from Hubble ? or had more LH2 and LOX tanks been fitted in Atlantis ? -
