This is a list of persons who served aboard Space Shuttles, arranged in chronological order by Space Shuttle missions.
Abbreviations: PC = Payload Commander MSE = USAF Manned Spaceflight Engineer Mir = Launched to be part of the crew of the Mir Space Station ISS = Launched to be part of the crew of the International Space Station.
Names of astronauts returning from the Mir or ISS on the Space Shuttle are shown in italics. They did not have specific crew roles, but are listed in the Payload Specialist columns for reasons of space.
Only two flights have carried more than seven crew members for either launch or landing. STS-61-A in 1985 is the only flight to have both launched and landed with a crew of eight, and STS-71 in 1995 is the only other flight to have landed with a crew of eight.

** Note 2: The durations listed count only the orbiter free-flight time, and not total time aloft along with airborne time atop of the 747 SCA.
