Preface
In this paper I present some statistics characterizing astronautical activity in calendar year 2016.
In the 2014 edition of this review, I described my methodological approach and some issues of
definitional ambguity; that discussion is not repeated here, and it is assumed that the reader has
consulted the earlier document, available at http://planet4589.org/space/papers/space14.pdf (This
paper may be found as space16.pdf at the same location).
An earlier version of this paper incorrectly included some satellites launched in 2015 and de-
ployed in 2016 in tables 4,5 and 6.
Orbital Launch Attempts
During 2016 there were 85 orbital launch attempts. Table 1 categorizes them by launching state
(the state owning the launch vehicle: therefore, Arianespace flights count as French).

There were two Arianespace-managed Soyuz launches from French Guiana which are counted
as French. Two launches failed to reach orbit (one Chinese, one Russian).
2016 saw the first flight of China’s heavy CZ-5 rocket, which, with its YZ-2 upper stage, placed
the SJ-17 satellite in geostationary orbit.
Also with its first launch was the redesigned Antares vehicle, with new engines on its first stage.
