Launches are derived: SatelliteIndex groups catalogued objects by the launch part of their COSPAR international designator (e.g. 1998-067) and takes the earliest launch date and the launch site from SATCAT. Launches that placed nothing in the catalogue (failures below orbit, suborbital flights) do not appear. Region split uses the launch-site country. See the methodology.
The last bar is the current month (partial).
