Space Forum / Shuttle / September 2006How many more flights to build the ISS?
If everything goes as planned how many more Shuttle flights before the ISS is done? > If everything goes as planned how many more Shuttle flights > before the ISS is done? Roughly 15.

The shuttle manifest has seventeen remaining flights, one a "flight of opportunity" that will become HST servicing sometime in the next couple of months, and two "contingency logistics flights" to stock up ISS in 2010.

As many as NASA can get in by 2010 when the shuttle stops flying. Jeff Signature"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" - B. Franklin, Bartlett's Familiar Quotations (1919) > If everything goes as planned how many more Shuttle flights before the > ISS is done? Depends upon your definition of "done"... Considering that ISS is a downgrade of President Reagan's Space Station Freedom, and politically compromised as it is, you could redefine "done" to match the current configuration and never fly another Shuttle flight. Done will be whatever ISS is at the time of the next accident.. I think schedule pressure by the 2010 end date will be found to be the cause of the next accident.... nasa will be unwillingly to ground fleet when needed, to get station finished ...... oh we will fly with so and so, after all its flown all these years without a problem:( griffin play the odds:( note this was the root cause of both challenger and coulumbia. its not a matter if if just a matter of when.......... just hope theres no deaths............... >> If everything goes as planned how many more Shuttle flights before the >> ISS is done? [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Freedom, and politically compromised as it is, you could redefine "done" > to match the current configuration and never fly another Shuttle flight. It's lopsided.
