Launch Vehicle Standings |
| 2002 YEAR TO DATE LAUNCH STATS as of December 31, 2002
Calender year launch vehicle standings, 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.
