Number of rocket launches – the total number of launches, including failed launches; Heaviest rocket launched – total mass at lift-off; Highest achieved altitude – height in km above launch site (unless orbital) Notes – comments; Major/active spaceports are shown in bold.
For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket.
For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Electron rockets launched from the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand are counted under the United States because Electron is an American ...
