Launch Ledger · data story
The public launch manifest has to store a date for every launch, even one with no date. So “NET 2026”, “NET Q4 2026”, “NET H2 2026” and “NET December 2026” are all stored as December 31, 2026. Every launch calendar that reads the raw date shows them bunched on New Year's Eve.
On September 27, 2026 we froze the list: 102 launches parked on December 31 with only a year, half, quarter or month. We check every one of them every day until the year ends, then freeze the result.
The final result freezes on January 3, 2027, two days into the new year, so the last launches' outcomes are in.
Since the list was frozen, 4 more launches have been parked on December 31. They are not in the count above, which follows the original list.
