TLS L alignment right fixed on This is a timeline of known spaceflight s , both manned and unmanned, sorted chronologically by launch date. Owing to its large size, the timeline is split into smaller articles, one for each year since 1951. There is a separate list for all flights that occurred before 1951. The CURRENTYEAR list, and lists for subsequent years, may contain launches which have not yet occurred. For the purpose of this article, a spaceflight is defined as any flight that crosses the Karman line , the officially recognised edge of space, which is km to mi num 100 abbr no spell Commonwealth precision 2 wiki yes Above mean sea level AMSL .

Spaceflight participant lang ru , uchastnik kosmicheskogo polyota is the term used by NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency RKA for people who travel aboard space missions coordinated by those agencies who are not part of the crew. The term serves to distinguish tourists and other special travelers from the career astronaut s. While the term gained new prominence with the rise of space tourism , it has also been used for participants in NASA s Teacher in Space program and for people who flew through inter government agreements such as the Angkasawan program and the Korean Astronaut Program . Other terms used for space travelers who are not career astronauts include NASA s Payload Specialist and the RKA s Researcher Cosmonaut. Background See also Astronaut ranks and positions The Soviet Intercosmos program included participants selected from Warsaw Pact members and later from allies of the USSR and Non Aligned Movement non aligned countries.
