Portal:Spaceflight/Next launch

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

This controls the "Next scheduled launch" section of the portal. The next suborbital, orbital and crewed launches can be specified. A suborbital launch should only be specified if it precedes the next orbital launch, and likewise an uncrewed orbital launch should only be listed if it precedes the next crewed launch.
