2014 in spaceflight

none June 2019 June 2019 2014 EFT-1_launch_-_view_from_pad.jpg Orion EFT-1, the first test flight of the Orion spacecraft, occurred on 5 December 2014. 5 January 31 December 92 88 2 2 90 Angara A5 Antares 120 Antares 130 Long March 3C/E Antares 120Antares 130 4 12 7 Timeline of spaceflight 2013 2015 right on In 2014, the maiden flight of the Angara A5, Antares 120 and Antares 130 took place. A total of 92 orbital launches were attempted in 2014, of which 88 were successful, two were partially successful and two were failures. The year also saw seven EVAs by ISS astronauts. The majority of the year's orbital launches were conducted by Russia, the United States and China, with 34, 23 and 16 launches respectively. 3 Overview An Ariane 5 ES launched the Georges Lemaître Automated Transfer Vehicle, the last one of the series, which also marked 60 successfully completed Ariane 5 launches in a row. On 22 August 2014, Arianespace launched the first two Full Operational Capability Galileo satellites for the European satellite navigation system. A number of significant events in planetary exploration occurred in 2014, including the entry of the Rosetta spacecraft into orbit around the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko in August 2014 and the deployment of the Philae lander to its surface in November, which marked the first orbit of and landing on a comet, respectively, and featured prominently in social media. Another notable occurrence was the entry of India's Mars Orbiter Mission into Martian orbit in September, making India the first Asian nation to reach Mars. On 5 December 2014, a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy launched the first Orion spacecraft test mission for NASA, Exploration Flight Test 1.

For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket. 120 false left [ {"value":340, "color":"#a52a2a", "label": "Russia: 34 (36.95%)"},
