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
