The data show that 144 orbital launches were carried out in 2021, of which 133 were successful. This figure does not include two undeclared launch attempts of Iran's simorgh rocket p> < p > the number in 2021 exceeded the total number of orbital launches in 1967, when a total of 139 launches were made, of which 122 were successful. At the same time, it also exceeded the successful launch record set in 1976, 125 of the 131 launches in that year p> < p > the busy year of 2021 has put an end to the revival of rocket launch. The total number of global orbital launches has doubled in the past decade. From 2000 to 2010, the government and commercial operators launched an average of less than 70 rockets into orbit every year p> < p > the two biggest changes since then are the rapid rise of China's aerospace industry and the explosive growth of SpaceX's launch activities, which launched its first Falcon 9 rocket in 2010. Smaller contributors include the emergence of other new space commercial companies, such as the U.S. - based rocket lab, which launched six times in 2021 p> < p > SpaceX also set a number of new records in 2021, as the company continues to expand the scale of its satellite Internet. SpaceX launched 31 Falcon 9 Rockets last year, all of which were successful. It is even more noteworthy that the company achieved this achievement with only two new Falcon 9 boosters, and the remaining 29 launches were carried out with previously recovered boosters. Therefore, in 2021, SpaceX proved that recycling rockets is no longer a marketing gimmick p> < p > the Falcon 9 rocket, the main launch force, helped the United States carry out 51 orbital launches in 2021, of which 48 were successful. The rocket laboratory, followed by Ula, Astra, Northrop Grumman, virgin orbit and others, also made their own contributions. At the same time, Russia, Europe and India were also major participants in last year's global launch attempt p> < p > the summary of websites such as space launch report does not include the suborbital launch attempt led by blue origin in 2021. Its new Shepard launch system set a record of six flights in 2021, including three manned space flights. As the demand for its space tourism services seems high, the company may at least double the number of manned launches by 2022 p> < p > as for orbital launch, 2022 may see more figures than before. For the debut of large rockets, this year should also be a busy year. There may be as many as 150 orbital launch attempts this year. (small) < / P > < p >
