3,200 of 7,627 orbital launches retrieved — a partial inventory, 1957 to the 1990 cut-off of the recovered pages

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.”

This report covers 3,200 retrieved launch records out of the 7,627 the API reports to exist — 42.0% of the requested complete list. All rows come from a single source, the Launch Library 2 API, snapshotted 2026-09-16 (“today” means through that date); the recovered rows span 1957–1990 across 82 sites. Because whole API pages are missing, site activity could only be inferred from what was retrieved: every site here carries the label “No recent orbital activity / status unverified”, which never means confirmed inactive.

Where the retrieved launches lifted off

Years Operating bloc Site

Circle area = retrieved launches in the selected range. Colour = operating bloc of the majority of a site's retrieved launches: Soviet (RU) United States (US) other blocs. Hover a circle for the site's exact counts and top providers.

Retrieved launches per year

Bars count retrieved rows only — dips reflect missing API pages as much as real launch rates.

The retrieval stops abruptly: only 24 rows were recovered for 1990 and none after, so the whole modern and commercial era is absent from this snapshot. ll.thespacedevs.com

Two Soviet sites dominate the recovered rows: Plesetsk Cosmodrome (1,148) and Baikonur Cosmodrome (832) together hold 62% of the 3,200 retrieved launches. ll.thespacedevs.com

By operating bloc, RU accounts for 2,080 retrieved launches and US for 981; nine other blocs (FR, JP, CN, GB, IN, IT, AU, DE, IL) share the remaining 139. ll.thespacedevs.com

Of the retrieved launches, 2,894 succeeded, 300 failed and 6 were partial failures; 25 rows also carry an independent GCAT orbital-catalog reference, a catalog-level cross-check rather than per-record verification. planet4589.com

Method: single-source snapshot of the Launch Library 2 API (ll.thespacedevs.com, v2.3.0) taken 2026-09-16. The endpoint reported 7,627 previous orbital launch records; repeated page failures limited retrieval to 3,200 rows (42.0%), spanning 1957–1990 across 82 sites. Each row records the UTC launch time, site and pad with coordinates, the operating bloc (two-letter code of the launch service provider's country/polity) and provider name. Site activity is a provisional inference from retrieved rows only — a listed future launch, a launch on/after 2021-01-01, or otherwise "No recent orbital activity / status unverified"; because pages are missing, that last label never means inactive. 25 rows carry a GCAT catalog reference. Coordinates rounded to 3 decimals; exact times shortened to dates in the table for space.
