The following chart shows the number of launch systems developed in each country, and broken down by operational status. Rocket variants are not distinguished; i.e., the Atlas V series is only counted once for all its configurations 401–431, 501–551, 552, and N22.
A Saturn V rocket, one of the most powerful operational launch vehicles to date. This article compares different orbital launcher families (launchers which are significantly different from other members of the same 'family' have separate entries).

Falcon Heavy (FH) is a super heavy lift space launch vehicle designed and manufactured by SpaceX.The Falcon Heavy is a variant of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle comprising three Falcon 9 first stages: a reinforced center core, and two additional side boosters.
VTVL rocket concepts were studied by Philip Bono of Douglas Aircraft Co. in the 1960s. [4] Apollo Lunar Module was a 1960s two-stage VTVL vehicle for landing and taking off from the Moon. Australia's Defence Science and Technology Group successfully launched the Hoveroc rocket on 2 May 1981 in a test at Port Wakefield, South Australia. [5]
