Industry / Countries
How countries are counted.
Launches are credited to the country of the launch site, so Baikonur counts as Kazakhstan's, not Russia's, and Rocket Lab's New Zealand launches count for New Zealand.
Satellites are credited to the owner's country as recorded by GCAT. Satellites of the former Soviet Union and joint or multinational owners are not credited to any single modern country.
