This is the "standard" spaceshuttle orbit. About 28 degree inclination. At
this inclination when the shuttle is launched from KSC, maximum payload
can be achieved. Any deviation from a 28 degree inclination results in a
payload penalty. The ISS will fly at an inclination of 50+ degrees,
therefore the maximum payload weight on an ISS flight will be somewhat
less than the maximum possible with a 28 degree flight.
