Would be useful to indicate which of those exist and which have flown successful missions. Not everyone knows all that stuff.
Yeah. And include shuttle STS launches if they’re going to include Energia, which was made to ferry Buran Shuttles.
Agreed. I would add that year(s) of service would be interesting. Really highlights how impressive the Saturn V was, not just for its time. I’m guessing the sorting is by agency/company?
Here’s what I was able to dig up. @d00phy@lemmy.world @mojofrododojo@lemmy.world
Vehicles with successful missions:
- Saturn V: 13 flights, one of which was a partial failure (1967 - 1973)
- Space Shuttle: 135 flights, two of which resulted in loss of crew and vehicle (1981 - 2011)
- Energia: 2 flights (1987 - 1988)
- Falcon Heavy: 11 flights (2018 - present)
- SLS Block 1: 1 flight (2022)
Vehicles with test flights:
- N1: 4 launches, never reached orbit (1969 - 1972)
- Starship Block 1: 6 launches, 4 of which achieved orbital velocity (2023 - 2024)
- Starship Block 2: 3 launches, 1 of which achieved orbital velocity (2025 - present)
Vehicles in development:
- Starship Block 3: NET (no earlier than) 2025
- Long March 10: NET 2026
- SLS Block 1B: NET 2028
- Yenisei: NET 2028
- NGLV: NET 2031
- Yenisei Don: NET 2032
- Long March 9: NET 2033
- SLS Block 2: NET 2034
TY!
Very detailed! Thanks!
can anyone explain why is long march 9 lifting more than long march 10?
same reason the Boeing 747 carries more than Boeing 757
