View source for Engineering:Comparison of orbital launcher families

{{Short description|none}}
[[File:Apollo 17 The Last Moon Shot Edit ro.jpg|thumb|A Saturn V rocket, one of the most powerful operational launch vehicles to date]]
This article compares different '''orbital launcher families''' (launchers which are significantly different from other members of the same 'family' have separate entries). The article is organized into two tables: the first contains a list of '''currently active and under-development''' launcher families, while the second contains a list of '''retired''' launcher families.

The related article "[[Astronomy:Comparison of orbital launch systems|Comparison of orbital launch systems]]" lists each individual launcher system within any given launcher family, categorized by its current '''operational''' status.

== Description ==

* Family: Name of the family/model of launcher
* Country: Origin country of launcher
* Manufac.: Main manufacturer
* Payload: Maximum mass of payload, for 3 altitudes
** LEO, [[Astronomy:Low Earth orbit|low Earth orbit]]
** GTO, [[Astronomy:Geostationary transfer orbit|geostationary transfer orbit]]
** TLI, trans-Lunar injection
* Cost: Price for a launch at this time, in millions of US$
* Launches reaching...
** Total: Flights which lift-off, or where the vehicle is destroyed during the terminal count<br />Note: only includes orbital launches (flights launched with the intention of reaching orbit). Suborbital tests launches are not included in this listing.
** Space (regardless of outcome): Flights which reach approximately 100&nbsp;km  or more above Earth's surface.
** Any orbit (regardless of outcome): Flights which achieve at least one complete orbit even if the orbit differs from the targeted orbit.
** Target orbit (without damage to the payload)
* Status: Actual status of launcher (retired, development, active)
* Date of flight
** First: Year of first flight of first family member
** Last (if applicable): Year of Last flight (for vehicles retired from service)
* Refs: citations

Same cores are grouped together (like Ariane 1, 2 & 3, but not V). 
<!-- <small>Approximative conversion : LEO mass / 2.5 = GTO mass</small> -->
