Orbital Launch Attempts by Country 2025
Every attempt to place a payload in orbit during the 2025 calendar year, counted by the country the launch vehicle comes from rather than the country of the payload or of the launch site. Failed attempts are included. Suborbital flights and test hops that never targeted orbit are excluded.
