You might try NASA Spacelink, http://Spacelink.msfc.nasa.gov
Click on the astronaut picture at the beginning and search for
ham;rebroadcast;shuttle;audio. One of the hits that returned was
NASA.Projects/Human.Space.Flight/Shuttle/Shuttle.Missions/Flight.033.STS-32/
Ham.Rebroadcasts.of.Mission.Audio. That was a pretty comprehensive list.
I had to re-post this reply due to operator interface error! Sorry.

If you want to try to work the Space Shuttle during one of their SAREX
missions, the propper frequencies are.....
145.550 downlink
144.910 uplink
144.930 "
144.950 "
144.970 "
144.910 "
Those are all voice frequencies........
The packet uplink frequency is..... 144.490 MHz
I have contacted the Shuttle MANY different times, (voice) using a Ringo
Ranger 2 antenna hooked to a Yeasu FT 2400.
As you can see, You don't need anything fancy, so Good luck.
STS-71 WILL USE A SPECIAL UPLINK FREQUENCY OF 144.450 & 144.470 MHz with a
*****DOWNLINK OF 145.840 MHz.*****
They will use those frequencies on that mission, due for that mission
so they don't interfear (sp) with the MIR, when they are docked to it.

Use this for starters...
There have been many requests for "where do I find the audio for the
Shuttle" on the forum. As mentioned earlier, the Goddard Amateur Radio
Club (Greenbelt, MD) re-transmits the audio on a number of HF
frequencies, and a number of Amateur Radio repeaters throughout North
America also place the Shuttle audio on their output. This system is
called "NASA Select Audio", and is usually pulled from a satellite feed
or other direct method. This service is available on non-DoD missions.
On some launches a video feed is also available, which is then made
available on some ATV (Amateur Television) repeaters.
I have summarized those feeds that I know about below, I would
encourage you to let me know of any additions or changes that you know
about. Keep in mind the list will change as repeaters add or drop the
audio. Also, the audio will be present only when there is activity,
which is not constant, especially at night. At other times you will
probably hear other Hams chatting.
