What this measures
Orbital launch attempts in the calendar year grouped by the country of the launch service provider as Launch Library 2 lists it (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3). A provider registered in several countries is attributed to the first country listed and the launch is flagged in metadata; a launch whose provider has no country is counted only in the world total. The World row is the sum over all providers. Counted from Launch Library 2 launch records whose net launch time falls in the calendar year, with suborbital flights excluded by the API (include_suborbital=false) and status Success, Failure or Partial Failure (the vehicle lifted off). Launches still marked Go, TBD or Hold are not counted.

- Quality and confidence
- Provider country follows Launch Library 2's agency record (SpaceX and ULA are USA, CASC is CHN, Arianespace is FRA). Only closed calendar years are stored (the running year would read as a drop against the previous full year; set include_current_year on the series to add it). Launch Library 2 corrects records after the fact, so closed years can change; each change is stored as a new row. Attribution: Data: The Space Devs, Launch Library 2.Ingestion rejects values outside 0 to 5,000 launches.3 periods with values for this geography, 2023 to 2025.
