Seznam pilotovaných vesmírných letů 2000–2009

Mezinárodní vesmírná stanice 19. prosince 2006. Pohled z odlétajícího raketoplánu Discovery (mise STS-116).

Seznam pilotovaných letů s lidskou posádkou v letech 2000–2009 zahrnuje 58 orbitálních a 3 suborbitální pilotované kosmické lety. V uvedeném období proběhla poslední mise na stanici Mir, lety k Mezinárodní vesmírné stanici, nehoda raketoplánu Columbia, lety čínských kosmických lodí Šen-čou a první soukromé suborbitální lety.

Roku 2000 začala nová etapa kosmických letů – v červnu odletem 28. expedice skončilo čtrnáctileté osídlení stanice Mir. Naopak začátkem listopadu na Mezinárodní vesmírnou stanici (ISS) přiletěla Expedice 1, čímž začalo trvalé osídlení nové stanice. Výměna posádek a výstavba ISS byly náplní většiny ruských a amerických pilotovaných letů následujících let. Výjimkou byly jen čtyři samostatné mise amerických raketoplánů – let STS-99 roku 2000, dvě servisní mise k Hubbleovu vesmírnému dalekohledu a let STS-107 raketoplánu Columbia, který při přistání lodi skončil zničením raketoplánu a smrtí posádky. Zatímco americká vesmírná agentura NASA používala k letům do vesmíru raketoplány Space Shuttle, ruský Roskosmos disponoval kosmickými loděmi Sojuz.

V prvním desetiletí 21. století proběhly také první tři čínské pilotované kosmické lety – mise Šen-čou 5, 6 a 7 – a první tři suborbitální lety soukromé kosmické lodě – mise SpaceShipOne 15P až 17P.

Seznam letů

  • Červeně označené lety jsou lety, při kterých se stala katastrofa s následkem smrti posádky.
  • Zeleně označené lety jsou suborbitální lety.

Soyuz TMA-5 Patch.png
This Soyuz TMA-5 patch was designed by Alex Panchenko:
"I've started design works of patches for Soyuz TMA-5 (ISS-10 flight) back in July 2004, when first sketches - drawings made in Starbucks coffee and later presented them for approval to Soyuz commander S. Sharipov. It was still not clear who is going to be third crew member of Soyuz and in this case I was preparing for Soyuz TMA-5 flight design in two variants (with name of Polonsky and with name of Shargin - both candidates on third seat in Soyuz).
During design work with Soyuz TMA-5 patch my idea was to present Soyuz panels as symbolic flags of Russia and United States, and base of design is a window view outside. Crew names are in the same order as their actual seats inside Soyuz. Commander S. Sharipov in center, L. Chiao on the left from commander and Y. Shargin on the right side."
