Comparison of orbital launch systems

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Falcon Heavy launch vehicle from SpaceX

This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit. A first list contains rockets that are operational or in development as of 2023; a second list includes all upcoming rockets and a third list includes all retired rockets For the simple list of all conventional launcher families, see: Comparison of orbital launchers families. For the list of predominantly solid-fueled orbital launch systems, see: Comparison of solid-fueled orbital launch systems.

Spacecraft propulsion[note 1] is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites. Orbital launch systems are rockets and other systems capable of placing payloads into or beyond Earth orbit. All launch vehicle propulsion systems employed to date have been chemical rockets falling into one of three main categories:

  • Solid-propellant rockets or solid-fuel rockets have a motor that uses solid propellants, typically a mix of powdered fuel and oxidizer held together by a polymer binder and molded into the shape of a hollow cylinder. The cylinder is ignited from the inside and burns radially outward, with the resulting expanding gases and aerosols escaping out via the nozzle.[note 2]
  • Liquid-propellant rockets have a motor that feeds liquid propellant(s) into a combustion chamber. Most liquid engines use a bipropellant, consisting of two liquid propellants (fuel and oxidizer) which are stored and handled separately before being mixed and burned inside the combustion chamber.
  • Hybrid-propellant rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellant, typically involving a liquid oxidizer being pumped through a hollow cylinder of solid fuel.

All current spacecraft use conventional chemical rockets (solid-fuel or liquid bipropellant) for launch, though some[note 3] have used air-breathing engines on their first stage.[note 4]

  4. ^ Sea-launched version of the third unofficial iteration of the Ceres-1 launch vehicle.
  5. ^ GTO payload with enhanced engines, as of GSLV version 2A[26]
  6. ^ 5,100 kg to a 500-km Sun-synchronous orbit; 3,300 kg to 800 km[27]: 64–65 
  7. ^ Despite not being officially aknowledged by the manifacturer, significant changes between different iterations of the rocket lead to the identification of different variants.[30]
  8. ^ A suborbital test flight was conducted in March 2012.[38]
  9. ^ A suborbital test flight was conducted in 2014 (designated LVM-3/CARE) without the cryogenic upper stage (CUS).[62]
  10. ^ Reference altitude 400 km
  11. ^ Additionally, two suborbital missions were conducted in 2010 and 2011.[68]
  12. ^ A suborbital test flight was conducted in May 2018.[74]
  13. ^ A suborbital test flight succeeded in 2016; both orbital flights in 2017 and 2019 failed.[85]
  14. ^ Suborbital test flight in 2004, without Fregat upper stage.[87]
  15. ^ A suborbital test flight failed in 2006. The first two orbital missions failed in 2009 and 2012, and the rocket finally reached orbit in late 2012.[101]
