Reviewed individual mission infobox, actual crew, backup and support crew sections, named payload examples, NASA primary mission clock/site record and location coordinates. Actual flight, backup and ground support roles remain distinct. No orbital or lunar event is assigned an Earth anchor.
Mission-control shift rosters and the complete experiment-contributor network are not exhaustively covered. Source clock discrepancies are stated in the individual chart qualification.

Earth launch as recorded in the reviewed NASA clock source. The individually viewed as-flown NASA summary (printed 2-83, PDF101) distinguishes main-gear touchdown 188:14:54:35Z from wheel stop 188:14:55:28Z on July 7,1995. Wikipedia’s 14:55:28 UTC is the latter phase, whereas this chart explicitly uses main-gear touchdown. NASA’s webpage instead gives 14:54:34 UTC; the report’s repeated main-gear entry 35 seconds is adopted with the disagreement visible. For launch, the report gives 178:19:32:18.95Z and the webpage 19:32:19.044 UTC; the agreed 19:32 minute is retained conservatively. The original fractional UTC source is preserved. Actual seven-person ascent and eight-person return rosters remain distinct; no orbital docking is Earth-anchored.
