has launched 89 times in the world, of which China, the United States and Russia occupy the top three positions. India recently broke the zero record and successfully launched once.
The number of space launches in 2020 form
On November 7, 2020, China’s Gushen-1 carrier rocket was launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and the Apocalypse constellation Eleven Stars were sent into the scheduled orbit. The Gushen-1 launch vehicle was developed by a private company in Beijing. Although it is a private company, the company's achievements are sufficient to represent China's development in the aerospace field.
SpaceX from the United States has made great efforts this year. The company broke the 100 mark on October 24 this year and launched a total of 100 Falcon rockets. This table points out that SpaceX’s launches this year accounted for half of all US companies. Among them, it’s worth mentioning his success rate. There was almost no launch failure.
The recycling and reuse of rockets is an important factor in the number of SpaceX launches. The company’s chairman Musk believes that reuse can greatly reduce the cost of space flight and make Mars colonization and other ambitious feats feasible, thereby completely Change the pattern of human space flight.

Even as a superpower, the United States has encountered many failures when launching rockets. In June 2015, a "Falcon 9" launched a robot cargo mission to the International Space Station about 3 minutes It was destroyed; and in September 2016, when preparing for the routine "quiet fire" test before launch, a Falcon 9 exploded and destroyed on the launch pad.
What is interesting is that India just broke the zero record not long ago. On November 7, local time, the Indian Space Center launched a polar satellite carrier rocket, which is the first rocket launched by India this year.
The related field of Indian rocket launch is still in its infancy, and the technology has made great progress, but it is still immature. Last year, Indian Prime Minister Modi personally watched the entire rocket launch process. Sad Modi could only encourage the engineers who were emotionally broken at the scene; but this year, he has made a little progress and will not lose money.
India launches rocket
With the continuous development of science, technology and economy in various countries, many countries have invested resources in the aerospace field. The aerospace field is sufficient to witness the strength of a country's scientific and technological development. Rockets are just a carrier for successfully launching astronauts or satellites into the sky, while satellites are tools for positioning. As long as the satellites are accurately positioned, they can monitor any corner of the world. This is also the rush of all countries to step up aviation An important reason for field research and development.
