The Timeline of Spaceflight WikiProject has identified this article as requiring cleanup and/or expansion to ensure consistency with other timeline aricles. Concerns have been raised that: inconsistent date formats are present in the article (d mmmm format should be used throughout) a large amount of launch information is missing no specific references are given an inconsistent dialect is used (British English should be used throughout) the article uses an out-of-date header and/or footer, which requires replacement See Wikipedia:WikiProject Timeline of spaceflight for guidelines on how to improve the article.
