This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all current and future individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit. A first list contains rockets that are operational or have attempted an orbital flight attempt as of 2024; a second list includes all upcoming rockets.
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).
The 397-foot-tall rocket blasted off from SpaceX's Boca Chica, Texas, flight facility on the Texas Gulf Coast at 8:25 a.m. EDT, putting on a spectacular sunrise show as the booster's 33 methane ...

ISRO's launch vehicles. Left to right: SLV, ASLV, PSLV, GSLV, LVM3 RLV Human Rated Launch Vehicle (HRLV) Vikram series, the under development orbital class launch family of Skyroot Aerospace in comparison with already flown Vikram S, the sounding rocket
The earliest space vehicles were expendable launch systems, using a single or multistage rocket to carry a relatively small spacecraft in proportion to the total vehicle size and mass. [1] An early exception to this, the Space Shuttle , consisted of a reusable orbital vehicle carrying crew and payload, supported by an expendable external ...
A spacecraft prefix is a combination of letters, usually abbreviations, used in front of the name of a spacecraft, and its purpose is often analogous to more conventional ship prefixes. This list does not include prefixes used on rockets, rocket launches, and spaceflights.
