STS-114 mission

A completed Space Shuttle Discovery mission whose safe landing took place at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on August 9, 2005.

Completed Verified 2026-10-02

Overview

Identification and status

STS-114 is the designation of a space mission identified by the available evidence as completed. A NASA item titled Mission Completed describes the Space Shuttle Discovery after a safe landing and states that the landing, on August 9, 2005, at Edwards Air Force Base in California, completed the STS-114 mission. The date and place documented here therefore refer to the landing; they are not a launch date and do not necessarily describe every phase of the mission.

Documented context

The source associates the mission with NASA’s Space Shuttle programme and specifically with the vehicle Discovery. NASA also maintains historical resources about the Space Shuttle programme and describes the flight system and mission profiles in general terms. That general material does not, by itself, establish the particular profile of STS-114. The supplied evidence supports identifying it as a Shuttle mission and recording its completion, but it does not provide a reliable basis for reconstructing its objectives, on-orbit activities, or results.

Scope and uncertainties

The available information does not give the launch date, total duration, crew members, carried payload, tasks performed, or scientific, technical, and operational results. Nor does it establish an official identifier for a containing programme or a hierarchical relationship beyond the factual association with Discovery. This profile therefore retains STS-114 as the entity identifier and does not fill gaps with unsupported details. NASA’s account of the landing is direct evidence that the mission ended with a safe return. On its own, however, it is not enough to assert additional achievements or to assess the mission as a whole. The entry is consequently limited to the verifiable identification, vehicle association, completion status, and landing information contained in the evidence provided.
