A Space Shuttle mission requires the coordination of thousands of individuals around and even above the surface of the planet. This coordination is directed largely by radio communications, both voice and digital; and supplies the communications enthusiast with several opportunities for listening. The following list includes radio voice communication frequencies reported to be in use during a typical Space Shuttle mission. This list has been gleaned from many sources, including personal communications, messages on the Internet, and other space-related resources. All of it is subject to change without notice, and reception is dependent on your location and the propagation conditions.
