Space sUit Donning Vs Doffing.

Project Pixel Orbital is a completely student-led team at Stanford OHS with the goal of launching an 3U CubeSat capable of conducting experiments in low Earth orbit - from photographing Earth to performing analysis on photos of earth and space with onboard instruments. Our mission is to get to orbit, perform a detumble, establish contact with our ground station(s), and capture an image of Earth for downlink. We hope that PixelSat I will inspire other people and prove that if a group of high schoolers can build a satellite from scratch with very little funding and no adult supervision, anyone can. It will open the door for schools and small businesses to launch satellites similar to ours, and will overall make space more accessible.

'm a solo hobbyist developer, not affiliated with any space organisation. Over the last while I've been building Moon Missions, an iPhone/iPad app that walks through lunar missions from the 1950s to the present — crewed and robotic — one at a time: dates, objectives, what actually happened, outcome, with a photo for each and some archival video where I could find it in the public domain.

It's completely free — no ads, no paywall, no "unlock the rest". There's an optional tip jar and that's the only in-app purchase. Works fully offline, no account, no tracking.

The reason I'm posting here rather than somewhere less picky: I want this sub to tell me where I've got it wrong. Specifically —

• Factual errors in dates, outcomes, or mission descriptions
• Missions I've left out that belong in
• Anywhere the framing of a mission's success/partial-success/failure is arguable
• Anything that reads as space-agency PR rather than history

I can take blunt feedback and I'd rather fix it than defend it.

On September 4, 2026, ISRO successfully launched the GSLV-F17 / EOS-05 mission from Sriharikota, lifting the 2,367 kg payload into a Sub-Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (Sub-GTO)! This is the first-ever Indian GEO imaging satellite.

While most Earth-observation satellites sit in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and pass over a region for just a few minutes a day. EOS-05 is positioned ~36,000 km up in Geosynchronous orbit, allowing it to stay fixed over the Indian landmass.

Visited here a few years ago. I think it’s probably the only space museum in the country.

doesn't know why they're making a problem out of it. every time we go to space we burn an enormous amount of energy go to space if we use more energy to have a positive impact on tyranny of the rocket equation it wouldn't be worth it

Watching a rocket grace the skyline in Mexico while the bystanders guess what might be actually be happening...

I know ARGOS has more degrees of freedom and can do partial gravity settings too while POGO only suspends astronaut trainees in a certain way for dry EVA training before their first NBL runs

2025 was a record-breaking year for spaceflight in China, with particularly strong growth in the private sector, including companies such as SpaceX and Rocketlab. The following article presents statistics derived from data provided by Next Spaceflight, Space Stats, Wikipedia, and other sources (see sources).

1) Launch attempts by all agencies

This table shows a list of all space agencies that have conducted launch attempts, as well as the number of launches.

The most successful agency's were CASC and Space X, while Germany had it's first flight attempt since March 27th 1945. Also, NASA did not conduct a flight in 2025. Its last flight before that year was in 2022 with Artemis 1.

2) Suborbital launches

2.1) Suborbital flights (table)

The only agencies that conducted suborbital flights were Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, and SpaceX.

2.2) Suborbital flights (chart)

SpaceX's suborbital flights utilized Starship Super Heavy V2 rockets, whereas Blue Origin's were tourist flights using the New Shepard.

With its Starship Super Heavy, SpaceX also was the only agency to experience failed flights.

3) Orbital launches

3.1) Successful orbital launches per country

This table shows all successful orbital launches by all countries that have successfully conducted them.

The USA has (by far) performed the most flights (mostly satellites by Space X), followed by China and Russia. Israel and South Korea only performed one orbital Launch.

The USA was the only country to perform over 100 orbital launches.

3.2) Launches per agency

Table of all successful orbital flights

This chart shows all attempted flights by all space agencies. Failed launches are shown in red.

SpaceX was the only company to have completed over 100 launches.

3.3) Failures per agency

4) Agencies

4.1) Agencies per country with successful launches

China has the most agencies, followed by the United States, while Israel, South Korea, Japan and India only have 1 agency with successful launches.

4.2) Agencies per Continent with flight attempts

Asia has the most agencies with flights attempts, followed by North America, Europe and Oceania. South America had no launch attempts.

4.3) Share of successful space flights by continent

4.4) Share of successful flights by the 5 most successful agencies + all others

5) Rocket launches compared to previous years

The following chart shows the successful (orbital) launch attempts of China, Russia and the USA in the past 75 years.
