The overuse of hyphens is another area I reverted some of your changes. While they may be useful in some areas of editing, for NASA missions the terms are used as written by NASA, (i.e., upgraded, outfitted, refit) and are correctly used as shown in

Finally, the word "shuttle" is a noun in some situations, as it is interchangeable with the term "orbiter". When it is used to reference a specific orbiter, (i.e.: Space
