Flights of manned orbital spacecraft that don't dock to a space station during their mission have become extremely rare in the twenty-first century. Almost all crewed orbital spaceflights in the 21st century went to a space station, mostly to the ISS. All Russian orbital spaceflights in the 21st century went to the ISS, and no manned Soviet or Russian spacecraft that reached orbit after Soyuz 22 flew solo, but either to a Salyut space station, to the Mir or to the ISS. The following is a list of manned orbital spaceflights in the 21st century that didn't dock to any space station. It only includes spaceflights that never go past a geocentric distance of 326,400 km (202,800 mi), the Earth-Moon L1 point, during the flight.
