These codes were assigned when the launches were initially scheduled and were not changed as missions were delayed or rescheduled. [6] The codes were adopted from STS-41-B through STS-51-L (although the highest code used was actually STS-61-C), and the sequential numbers were used internally at NASA on all processing paperwork.

The first landing at Vandenberg was planned for mission STS-62-A, which was scheduled for launch in July 1986, but cancelled in the wake of the STS-51-L accident. [33] No space shuttle operations or landings ever occurred at the site.
10 launches Frederick W. Sturckow (USA), Space Shuttle and SpaceShipTwo (1998–2024) Note: The six SpaceShipTwo flights surpass the U.S. definition of spaceflight (50 mi (80.47 km)), but fall short of the Kármán line (100 km (62.14 mi)), the definition used for FAI space recordkeeping.
This article lists orbital and suborbital launches planned for the second half of the year 2025, including launches planned for 2025 without a specific launch date. For all other spaceflight activities, see 2025 in spaceflight. For launches in the first half of 2025, see List of spaceflight launches in January–June 2025.
Hardware to correct the problem was added to the STS-125 mission payload.

As of the launch of SpaceX Crew-9 on 28 September 2024, there have been 391 human spaceflight launches. Two missions did not cross either the Kármán line or the U.S. definition of space and therefore do not qualify as spaceflights. These were the fatal STS-51-L (Challenger disaster), and the non-fatal aborted Soyuz mission T-10a. Two aborted ...
