Launch Vehicle Standings |
| 2001 YEAR TO DATE LAUNCH STATS as of 2001 December 31 Year-to-date standings by launch vehicle, ranked by success rate, with launch total as the first tiebreaker and total payload mass as the second tiebreaker. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions have orbital periods of less than 2 hours. Deep Space missions include heliocentric, planetocentric, and solar system escape trajectories. ========================================================= Vehicle Overall By Orbit Type Success/ Earth-Orbit Earth-Escape Attempts LEO >LEO Deep Space ========================================================= Soyuz-U(Ikar/Fregat) 7/7* 7/7* --- Delta 2 7/7 2/2 3/3 2/2* STS 6/6 6/6 --- Ariane 4 6/6 --- 6/6* Proton K/DM 5/5 --- 5/5 Atlas IIA(S) 4/4 1/1 3/3 Titan 4B 3/3 1/1 2/2 Zenit 3SL/DMSL 2/2 --- 2/2 Molniya-M 2/2 --- 2/2 Soyuz-FG 2/2 2/2 --- Tsyklon-3 2/2 2/2 Proton M/Briz M 1/1 --- 1/1 H-2A 1/1 --- 1/1 CZ-2F 1/1 1/1 --- Zenit 2 1/1 1/1 --- Tsyklon 2 1/1 1/1 --- Kosmos 3M 1/1 1/1 --- Start 1 1/1 1/1 --- PSLV 1/1 1/1 --- Athena 1 1/1 1/1 --- Ariane 5G 1/2 --- 1/2 GSLV 0/1 --- 0/1 Taurus 2110 0/1 0/1 --- --------------------------------------------------------- Total 56/59 27/28 27/29 2/2 * Denotes YTD Leader in Category ========================================================= Launch sites, ranked by number of year-to-date orbital launch attempts. ========================================================= Site Overall Success/ Attempts ========================================================= Baikonur, Kazakhstan 16/16 Cape Canaveral, Florida 10/10 Kourou, French Guyana 7/8 Kennedy Space Center, Florida 6/6 Plestesk, Russia 6/6 Vandenberg AFB, California 4/5 Sea Launch LP Odyssey 2/2 Sriharikota, India 1/2 Jiuquan, China 1/1 Tanegashima, Japan 1/1 Svobodny, Russia 1/1 Kodiak Launch Complex, Alaska 1/1 ========================================================= Launch Vehicle by Success Rate Top active space launch vehicles ranked by success rate (10 or more launches).
