This paper discusses the scheduling considerations when developing the International Space Station (ISS) Assembly Sequence. Assembly of the space station requires 44 space launches (not including additional launches for resupply) on 5 different launch vehicles from 3 different countries. The assembly sequence has to be developed such that sufficient resources (space station docking ports, power systems, thermal systems, on-orbit stowage, etc.) are available at each stage of assembly. Therefore space station system functionality must periodically be increased to meet the needs of the growing configuration. Interdependence and development schedules of international elements are crucial to the success of the space station assembly. The scheduling of the necessary launch vehicles to deliver the assembly elements is just one aspect of the overall traffic planning. Along with transportation to space on-orbit activities also play a main role in the assembly sequence schedule. Assembly of the International Space Station is currently scheduled to occur over a 4.5 year lime period beginning with the First Element Launch (PEL) in November of 1997. June of 2002 marks the completion of the largest cooperative international construction project in history, the International Space Station (ISS)
