About This Dataset
Countries by Number of Space Missions Launched
Countries ranked by the total number of space missions they have successfully launched from their territory or operated. The United States and Russia together account for the vast majority of all space missions since the dawn of the Space Age in 1957.
Analysis
United States heads the table on 1,774, ahead of Russia/USSR (1,451) and China (590) in Space Missions Launched. 1,753 separates the highest figure (1,774) from the lowest (21) in Space Missions Launched. First and second are separated by 323, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Only 2 of the 8 reach even half the leader's figure (887 or more).
