New Glenn is a Heavy-lift launch vehicle developed by Blue Origin, named after NASA astronaut John Glenn, the first American astronaut to orbit Earth. [8] New Glenn is a two-stage rocket with a diameter of 7 m (23 ft). Its first stage is powered by seven BE-4 engines that are also designed and manufactured by Blue Origin.
Ariane Next [2] —also known as SALTO (reusable strategic space launcher technologies and operations) [3] —is a future European Space Agency rocket being developed in the 2020s by ArianeGroup. This partially reusable launcher is planned to succeed Ariane 6, with an entry into service in the 2030s. The objective of the new launcher is to ...
This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all current and future individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit. A first list contains rockets that are operational or have attempted an orbital flight attempt as of 2024; a second list includes all upcoming rockets. For the simple list of all conventional ...
The year 2023 saw rapid growth and significant technical achievements in spaceflight. For the third year in a row, new world records were set for both orbital launch attempts (223) and successful orbital launches (211). The growth in orbital launch cadence can in large part be attributed to SpaceX, as they increased their number of launches ...
LVM3. The Launch Vehicle Mark-3 or LVM3 [1] [15] [16] (previously referred as the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III or GSLV Mk III) [a] is a three-stage [1] medium-lift launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Primarily designed to launch communication satellites into geostationary orbit, [18] it ...
The Next Generation Launch Vehicle or NGLV or " Soorya " (previously referred to as Unified Launch Vehicle or ULV) is a three-stage partially reusable rocket, currently under development by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). This vehicle is designed to replace currently operational systems like PSLV, GSLV and LVM3.
Space Launch System. 39,000,000 N (39 MN; 4,000 t f; 8,800,000 lbf) (Total first stage thrust.) [ 9] The Space Launch System ( SLS) is an American super heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle used by NASA. As the primary launch vehicle of the Artemis Moon landing program, SLS is designed to launch the crewed Orion spacecraft on a trans-lunar ...
Flight 26 was the first Electron flight to attempt a full catch recovery using a mid-air helicopter catch. "Scout's Arrow" was the first suborbital launch of the rocket. In July 2019, Rocket Lab expected to have launches every two weeks in 2020. [ 1] In June 2020, with a new Electron launch vehicle built every 18 days, Rocket Lab was planning ...
