7,392 orbital launch attempts since 1957 — the full list lives in a live index; here is a verified sample and how site status is judged

The question asked: “Every orbital launch from 1957 to today — for each one list the year, the launch site, the operating bloc and whether the site is still active.”

The complete Orbital Radar archive reports 7,392 orbital launch attempts, 1957–2026, last updated 2026-08-27; the underlying GCAT orbital launch log was updated 2026-08-30. Only bounded excerpts of the raw log were fetched here — 31 verified launch records from 1957–1958 are shown below, not the full archive. Operating bloc means the launch vehicle's operating state (GCAT LVState): SU is the Soviet Union, US is the United States.

What the sample and the archive show

Of the 7,392 attempts in the complete archive, 6,826 succeeded — an overall 92.9% success rate, with 208 launches recorded in 2026 alone. orbitalradar.com

In the fetched 1957–1958 excerpt, 21 of 31 attempts failed: the first two years of the space age ran at a 32% success rate, far below the archive's lifetime average. planet4589.org

Cape Canaveral (GCAT code CC) is still active: its current entry, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carries an open-ended TStop (*) from 2020 Dec 9 — GCAT's marker for a site in current operation. planet4589.org

NIIP-5 (Baikonur) and NOTS status stay unresolved here: their TStart/TStop rows fall outside the fetched site-table excerpt, and GCAT guidance is to leave uncertain values blank rather than guess. planet4589.org

The 2020s alone already hold 1,432 launches in the archive — roughly a fifth of all attempts since 1957 in barely seven years. orbitalradar.com

The 31 verified launch rows

Method: launch rows parsed from a bounded excerpt of the GCAT orbital launch log (launchlog.tsv, updated 2026 Aug 30, J. McDowell, planet4589.org) — 31 clearly delimited records covering 1957 Oct 4 to 1958 Dec 18. Operating bloc is the GCAT LVState field for the launch vehicle, not the payload owner. Outcome from GCAT Launch_Code (OS = orbit reached, OF = failure, one unconfirmed 1958 Vanguard attempt counted as failure). Site status judged at spaceport level from the GCAT sites table excerpt: an open-ended TStop (*) means active; sites absent from the excerpt are left unresolved, not guessed. Headline totals (7,392 attempts, 92.9% success, coverage 1957–2026, archive updated 2026-08-27) come from Orbital Radar's live summary. The remaining ~7,361 launch rows were not ingested and are available at the linked index and TSV.
