The shuttle missions are numbered in order of launch date. The next launch will be STS-125, which will service Hubble. Sometimes they launch out of sequence because of delays. STS-119 will launch in between STS-126 and STS-127. Assuming the first launch was STS-1, there would seem to have been 123 shuttle missions.
