Unofficial Shuttle Launch Schedule

as of July 22, 2011

• Ascii version of this document

There are no upcoming Shuttle Missions any more: The Space Shuttle program was concluded after finishing the 135th orbital flight, STS-135, on July 21, 2011.

                      *** ISS Assembly Complete ***
                      *** Space Shuttle Program Concluded ***

• Our list of all Space Shuttle missions, starting from the first flight test (ALT-1 Enterprise, February 15, 1977) to the final orbital flight (STS-135 Atlantis, July 8-21, 2011)
• International Space Station Flight Schedule, all scheduled flights to the ISS, mainly Russian Soyuz and Progress, Japanese HTV, European ATV and future commercial US Dragon and Cygnus spacecraft (currently to 2015)

NOTE: This schedule was prepared from various and partly discordant Nasa and other sources, so it should be taken with appropriate care. Actual launch dates are set at the Flight Readiness Review held about two weeks prior to launch.

International Space Station (ISS) flies in an orbit inclined 51.60 degrees to Earth's equator (as did Mir), while the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is in a 28.47 degrees inclined orbit.

• This list is intended to succeed Bob Waterman's Shuttle Launch schedule which exists no more.

• Unfortunately, the following site (formerly Florida Today's Space Today) has partly degraded (with commercial ads, slow applets, and less coverage into the future) since it has been taken over by space.com, so can now only be recommended with limitations: Next Rocket Launches (Shuttle and others, including international) and current launch schedule.
