Notes: *This will be the final mission with a seven person crew. This will be the final Space Shuttle mission that contains one or more "rookie" astronauts; the missions after this will have all-veteran crews.^{[butuh rujukan]} STS-131 will be only the third mission in the Space Shuttle program to carry three female astronauts.
