300 launch records from the archive's decade pages, covering seven exposed year-slices — 1958, 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999 and 2009 — across 19 launch sites and 20 operating blocs. No record after 2009 was exposed, so under the extract's 2022–2026 activity test every site reads as inactive. Units throughout: launch records in the extract.
Read the status column carefully. Site status is an observational proxy: “Active” would mean the extract contains an orbital launch from that site during 2022–2026. “No orbital launch observed since 2021” — the status of every site here — is not proof that the physical facility has closed; the extract simply exposes no record after 2009.
Bloc is inferred, not authoritative. The operating bloc is derived from the listed launch operator. Operators the normalisation could not resolve keep their original names as their bloc (ABMA, MVS, NOTS, USAF SSD, 2SLS/AFSMC, ILS, SeaLaunch, AEB, OSC Chandler, SIS, SMC/RSLP, KTRAS/RVSNR) and are drawn in grey.
The extract total of 300 is not the historical global total. The archive’s stated complete count for 1957–2026 is 7,353; this page charts only the 300-record web-accessible extract.

Method: 300 orbital-launch records scraped from orbitalradar.com decade pages (1950s–2000s), the only rows the live archive exposed to this run out of a stated 7,353 total for 1957–2026. Each chart value is the archive’s precomputed year × bloc launch count taken once per year–bloc pair, never re-summed from repeated rows; site totals and last-launch years are likewise precomputed. A count measures launch records in the extract, not launches worldwide. Cut for space: per-site totals table (the 19 site aggregates are described in the findings) and the constant extract-total column.
