2010 Space Launch Report Updated January 21, 2011 2010 Launch Vehicle Standings Left: China performed a record 15 orbital launches during 2010. This Chang Zheng 3C rocket launched China's Chang'e 2 lunar orbiter from Xichang space center on October 1, 2010. Right: SpaceX Corporation's Falcon 9 logged two successes during its first two flights from Cape Canaveral in 2010. The second launch, in December, orbited the company's Dragon C1 COTS demonstration spacecraft, which was recovered in the Pacific Ocean after two orbits. |

YEAR TO DATE 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.

[1] Missile Defense Agency test. OBV/EKV Targeted warhead launched by LV-2 target
missile flown from Meck Island in Kwajalein Atoll, RMI. Missiles flew OK, but EKV
failed to hit target due to issues with sea-based X-band radar system. LV-2 first
flight - consisted of first two stages of Trident C4 (Trident 1) SLBM.
[2] DARPA Hypersonic Test Vehicle 2a meant to glide through upper atmosphere at up
to Mach 20 to dive near Kwajalein, but contact lost 9 min after liftoff.
First Minotaur 4 Lite (3 MX stages with Taurus/Pegasus avionics).
[3] Test of new 2 Stg OBV interceptor design. No target planned.
[4] To Kwajalein. June 30 flight was 1,900th VAFB launch.
[5] Salvo launch from K-114 "Tula" in Barents Sea to Kura Range.
[6] To 200 mi sw of Guam.
[7] Success from submerged "Dmitry Donskoi" to Kura, Kamchatka Range
[8] Plestesk to Kura Range.
