Timeline of spaceflight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of all spaceflights, both manned and unmanned, sorted chronologically by launch date. Owing to its large size, the list is split into smaller lists, one for each year between 1957 and 2007 (inclusive). There is a separate list for all flights that occurred before 1957.

The 2006 and 2007 lists may contain launches which have not yet occurred.

For the purpose of this list, a "spaceflight" is defined as any flight that crosses the Karman line, the officially recognised "edge of space". The list contains all flights which have done so, were intended to do so, but failed, or are planned to do so in the not-too-distant future.
