Astrophysics Sounding Rocket Flightrate 1955 - 2008
Sounding rocket flight rate for astrophysics missions from 1955 – 2008 broken down by launch vehicle. The total number of astrophysics missions was 477, most of which (391) were supported by NASA. The newest launch vehicle, the Terrier Boosted Black Brant, first launched an astrophysics rocket in 1985.

Institutions Launching Astrophysics Sounding Rockets 1955 - 2008
Figure shows all the institutions launching astrophysics sounding rockets. Some institutions support multiple PIs. Mini-histograms show the number of launches within a particular year from a given institution. The number of institutions launching within a ten year period are indicated at the top of the figure.
