Resolves to number of successful launches of all variants of orbital launch vehicles on Nextspaceflight's Manifest Page.
https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/?q=&f=agency_1&tab=
for March 2026, UTC time.
If that page is demonstrably wrong or out of date, then I will either wait for update or a correct source will be decided upon and used as a replacement.
A launch is considered successful if it is outlined in green on the linked manifest page.
Launches outlined with red (failure) or orange (partial failure) will not count as successful.
(Starship is considered an orbital launch vehicle, regardless of true orbit not being demonstrated. Success may well be more of an issue with test flights.)
Update 2026-02-21 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Failure during re-entry does not count as unsuccessful: If the payload is successfully deployed and the launch is outlined in green on nextspaceflight, it counts as successful even if the vehicle fails to deorbit or fails during re-entry after payload deployment.

A satellite launched by a viable organisation like NASA that carries a SpaceX satellite doesn't count.
@AlanTennant Correct but I am not sure if there are any examples of that, SpaceX launch all their own satellites AFAIK.
@AlanTennant Works on nextspaceflight page. If payload is successfully deployed they outline it in green for success. So a failure to deorbit after payload deploy such as Feb 7 2026 launch is shown in green and counts as successful not unsuccessful.
