How we count
Counts cover launches with a recorded outcome. Data comes from Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs and editorial checks. Other trackers can differ by a few launches, for example if they exclude suborbital test flights such as New Shepard or HASTE. Dates and times are UTC. A partial failure counts as not successful.
