2005 LAUNCH STATS by Ed Kyle as of December 31, 2005 ======================================================== 2005 LAUNCH VEHICLE SUMMARY Calendar year launch vehicle results, ranked by number of successes, with launch total as the first tiebreaker and vehicle payload mass as the second tiebreaker. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions have orbital periods less than 2 hours. Deep Space missions include heliocentric, planetocentric, and solar system escape trajectories. ========================================================= Vehicle Overall By Orbit Type Launches Earth-Orbit Earth-Escape (Failures) LEO >LEO Deep Space ========================================================= R-7 Soyuz/Molniya** 12(1) 8(0)* 3(1) 1(0) Proton-(K/M) *** 7(0) - 7(0)* - Ariane 5 ***** 5(0) - 5(0) - Chang Zheng **** 5(0) 4(0) 1(0) - Zenit 3SL/DMSL 4(0) - 4(0) - Delta 2(H) 3(0) 1(0) 1(0) 1(0) Kosmos 3M 3(0) 3(0) - - Titan 4B 2(0) 2(0) - - Atlas 5 2(0) - 1(0) 1(0)* Minotaur 2(0) 2(0) - - Rokot KM 2(1) 2(1) - - STS 1(0) 1(0) - - H-IIA 1(0) - 1(0) - Atlas 3B 1(0) 1(0) - - Dnepr 1(0) 1(0) - - PSLV 1(0) 1(0) - - M-5 1(0) 1(0) - - Pegasus XL 1(0) 1(0) - - Volna 1(1) 1(1) - - -------------------------------------------------------------- Total 55(3) 29(2) 23(1) 3(0) * Denotes YTD Leader in Category ** Soyuz/Molniya Details -------------------------------------------------------------- Soyuz-U (Progress) 4(0) 4(0) - - Soyuz-U (Kosmos) 2(0) 2(0) - - Soyuz-FG/Fregat 3(0) - 2(0) 1(0) Soyuz-FG/Soyuz 2(0) 2(0) - - Molniya-M 1(1) - 1(1) - --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Proton Details --------------------------------------------------------------- Proton-K/DM-2 1(0) - 1(0) - Proton-K/DM-2M 2(0) - 2(0) - Proton-K/17S40 - - - - Proton-K/Briz-M - - - - Proton-M/Briz-M 4(0) - 4(0) - --------------------------------------------------------------- ****Chang Zheng (Long March) Details --------------------------------------------------------------- CZ-2C/3 1(0) 1(0) - - CZ-2D/2 2(0) 2(0) - - CZ-2F 1(0) 1(0) - - CZ-3B 1(0) - 1(0) - --------------------------------------------------------------- *****Ariane 5 Details --------------------------------------------------------------- Ariane 5ECA 2(0) - 2(0) - Ariane 5GS 3(0) - 3(0) - --------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================= 2005 LAUNCH SITE SUMMARY Launch sites, ranked by number of year-to-date orbital launch attempts. ========================================================= Site Overall Launches (Failures) ========================================================= Baikonur, Kazakhstan 19(0) Cape Canaveral, Florida 6(0) Plestesk, Russia 6(2) Kourou, French Guyana 5(0) Vandenberg AFB, California 5(0) Jiuquan, China 4(0) Sea Launch LP Odyssey (POR) 4(0) Kennedy Space Center, Florida 1(0) Tanegashima, Japan 1(0) XiChang, China 1(0) Sriharikota, India 1(0) Uchinowa (Kagoshima), Japan 1(0) Barents Sea (Sub Launched) 1(1) Taiyaun, China - Palmanchim, Isreal - Svobodny, Russia - ========================================================= Launch Vehicle by Success Rate ================================================================ SPACE LAUNCH REPORT LAUNCH VEHICLE RELIABILITY STATISTICS ================================================================ by Ed Kyle as of December 31, 2005 ================================================================ Top active or recently retired space launch vehicles ranked by their predicted orbital success rate*.
