A brief list of the launches of my SpaceTransportationSystem:
STS-1: first test flight of the Shuttle Atlantis, to test systems and reentry autopilot; landed succesfully at Cape (duration 2 days).
STS-2: tested Endeavour systems and landing autopilot at Edwards AFB; success (duration 3 days).
STS-3: tested Discovery systems and landing autopilotat White Sands; success (duration 3 days).
STS-4: tested Atlantis night landing at Cape; success (duration 4 days).
STS-5: first launch with payload; Discovery carried LDEF at 600km circular orbit; re-entered succesfully 5 days later.
STS-6: Endeavour failed to retrieve LDEF; landed at Cape 7 days later.
STS-7: tested systems to avoid future failure (Atlantis 10 days).
STS-8:tested systems to avoid future failure (Discovery 8 days).
STS-9: Following CSS CoreModule launch by Russian Federation aboard a Proton, Node1-PMA1 was carried in orbit and docked to Core by Atlantis(6 days mission).
STS-10: Endeavour carried Nebulus, habitat module and support for Main Truss, to the newborn station (6 days mission).
STS-11: Atlantis docked to CSS the MainCentralTruss, support for future solar arrays; carried also a docking adapter for upcoming arrivals of Russian modules.
STS-12: first arm for the Station is brought up by Atlantis together with the Port truss (7 days).
STS-13:not flown.
STS-14: starboard truss delivered by Discovery (5 days).
STS-15: a radiator segment is docked to the starboard truss and deployed successfull (Endeavour, 6 days).
STS-16: the port "wing" is carried up by Atlantis in a 10 days mission: Port solar array P3/4 is docked temporarly atop Node1 and deployed.
STS-17: not flown.
STS.18: a big High Gain Antenna is launched with Endeavour and put on the AFT Russian Module (4 days).
STS-19: Discovery brings up the Starboard solar array S3/4; radiators are relocated atop the antenna truss, S3/4 is docked to starboard final position, while P3/4 remains in it's central position.
STS-20: finally Endeavour flyes high to retrieve the LDEF; recapture is successfull, but during landing a gear malfunction damage the orbiter; no hurt to the crew (6 days).
STS-21: Atlantis carry up the StationArm, a long arm to manipulate modules, and dock it to the starboard truss; during the same mission P3/4 is moved to it's final position at the end of the Port Truss (10 days).
STS-22: Discovery deliver the Quest Eva Module with it's packeges to the CSS, and assembles it during 3 EVAs (7days).
STS-23: Atlantis docks with CSS carring Node2 and PMA2 (6 days).
STS-24: Discovery delivers to CSS SL-1 (Scientific Laboratory 1), a platoform built by JAXA in cooperation with ESA and NASA (14 days).
STS-25: Atlantis to CSS to expand port truss with P5 segment, deliver a MPLM and work on a new pipeline to carry fuel into the Multi-docking Module (11 days ).
STS-26: Endeavour return to flight; the mission is to deliver P6 truss and giant ARM-2 used to work on top trusses (8 days).
STS-27: Discovery deliver the S5 truss and the new 1000kg-capable MPLM-2 to CSS; also returns to Earth the old 400kg-capable MPLM-1 (14 days).
STS-29: Atlantis rescheduled mission brings S2 extra truss to CSS to expand station capabilities and to allow future installation of starboard radiator (14 days).
