How many rockets have been launched by india

First I was going to ask how many rocket bodies lay at the bottom of the ocean, but I simplified further. Remember, this includes sounding rockets; anything passing the Kármán line. I'm looking for a good guesstimate. I'm sure it's more than a thousand and less than a million, and guessing that it's probably about half-way between on a log scale (~31,600). Food for thought; Gunter's Space Page has a map of launch sites worldwide About 35,000-40,000, including sounding rockets. Ordinarily I'd provide a hard source, but since you specifically asked for a guesstimate I'll just cite myself: My answer orbital launches; unfortunately I failed to cite my source there and can't recall where I got that data -- I don't think I added up all the entries linked from Wikipedia's Jonathan McDowell's list of This database forms the background data for a comprehensive launch list of 70536 launches. The launches include 5704 orbital launch attempts, 28466 suborbital launches, and 36366 endoatmospheric flights So this would be between 28466 and 34170 depending on how many of the orbital launch attempts reached space. $\begingroup$ I added up all the launches in the Timeline of Spaceflight article and got: 5178 Full launch successes, 108 Partial failures, i.e. lower-than-expected orbit or failure of secondary mission, 394 Failures to reach orbit, and 249 Future scheduled missions. So ~5000 sounds right $\endgroup$ $\begingroup$ 70536 = 5704 (orbital launch attempts) + 28466 (suborbitals) + 36...

Further Reading finally be the year we see some new chunky rockets take flight Last year's numbers surpass the total orbital launch attempts in 1967 (122 successes out of 139 launch attempts) and a previous record for successes in 1976 (125 successes out of 131 attempts). The busy year in 2021 caps a rocket renaissance. The total number of global launch attempts has doubled during the last decade. From 2000 to 2010, the government and commercial operators launched, on average, fewer than 70 orbital rockets a year. The two biggest changes since that time have been the dramatic rise of the Chinese state-led space industry and the explosion of activity by SpaceX, which launched its first Falcon 9 rocket in 2010. Smaller contributing factors include the rise of other new commercial companies, such as US-based Rocket Lab, which launched six times in 2021. Before 2010, China averaged fewer than 10 rocket launches a year. But over the last decade, the country has made significant expansions of its military space program, launching observation and communications satellites and embarking on an ambitious robotic lunar exploration program and launching a next-generation space station. The country also has a nascent commercial space industry. All told, the Chinese government and a handful of private operators launched 56 rockets in 2021, of which there were 53 successes.

List of orbital launches by spaceport. Credit: Annie Wilson. 2021 was another rough year for pretty much everyone. In case you missed it, there’s a pandemic going on, supply chain issues abound, and there is still a microchip shortage. Despite that, the space industry achieved a lot. There were 145 orbital launch attempts — the most since 1967. Most, 133, were successful. We keep track of orbital launches by launch location, also known as spaceport. Please keep in mind that these numbers do not include suborbital flights, such as the Starship tests or New Shepard. The 2021 totals were: China 55, USA 45, Kazakhstan 14, Russia 10, French Guiana 7, New Zealand 6, Japan 3, India 2, Iran 2, South Korea 1 Like in 2020, China launched more rockets than anyone else, closely followed by the US. Thirty one out of 45 US launches were SpaceX launches. Five of the Falcon 9 boosters launched more times than rockets by several individual countries. In fact, Booster 1060 launched six times just last year, matching the total combined number of launches by South Korea, India, and Japan. The smallest rocket launched in 2021 was Astra’s Rocket 3.3, and the largest rocket launched was ULA’s Delta 4 Heavy. From the 133 successful launches, the most ever in a year, 27 humans were put into orbit as well as 1,778 spacecraft and satellites. Additionally, 16,675kg of cargo was sent to the ISS. That’s the equivalent of three elephants sent to space, to a place the size of an average house. Two spacec...

The two-stage LV0008 lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today performed well initially, soaring high into the Florida skies, but an issue occurred around 3 minutes into flight. "That was fairing separation and stage separation," was announced during the webcast. Those events occurred, but not the desired way. The fairings appeared not to separate until the upper stage engine ignites, blasting the two nose cone halves asunder but also leaving the stage in a rapid spin, as seen from the point of view of an onboard camera. The event meant loss of the mission and four tiny cubesats on the ELaNa 41 mission for NASA.

It lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on July 25, 2019. (Image credit: CCTV) Back in July 2019 iSpace became the first Chinese private company to launch a rocket into orbit using its four-stage Hyperbola 1 solid rocket. Things have not gone so well since then, with two failures last year being followed up by a third consecutive launch failure. The fourth Hyperbola 1 lifted off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert on May 13. All seemed well early on according to amateur footage but silence followed in place of a confirmation of launch success. The Beijing-based company confirmed the ...
