 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
  • the article uses an out-of-date header and/or footer, which requires replacement
  • the article contains a number of transcluded parser functions, which require substitution.
  • confusion between launch contractors and satellite manufacturers
See Wikipedia:WikiProject Timeline of spaceflight for guidelines on how to improve the article.
