STS stands for Space Transportation System. It's used to identify a space shuttle flight.

The first STS mission, with the first Space Shuttle launch (Columbia)
NASA has plans to launch 5 space Huttles in 2010, after that they will rely only on the Russian Soyuz rocket. Here is a list of the future mission (Please note that date are subject to chage). STS-130; Febuary 4th STS-131; March 18th STS-132; May 14th STS-134; July 29th STS-133; September 16th
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.
NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope on the space shuttle Discovery (STS-31) on 24 April 1990 and the telescope was released two days later on the 26th.

NASA has two more shuttle flights planned: STS 134 and STS 135. There have been 133 shuttle flights so far, including STS-133 which concluded on March 09, 2011.
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.
The last shuttle missions in 2011 were STS-135 (July 8, 2011), STS-134, STS-133. Probably won't be many (if any) in 2012 due to budget cuts. For list of current and past shuttle missions check out the related links below.
