Week in Space Data, every Friday.
How fast the world is launching, live. An attempt is an orbital launch that lifted off (success or failure; scrubs don't count), and to-date comparisons cut both years at the same UTC day. Sourced from Launch Library 2 plus our own tracking.

Success rate = full successes / attempts. A partial failure (Launch Library 2: the vehicle flew but the mission did not fully succeed) counts as an attempt and not as a success; scrubs are not attempts.
