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 Mayl 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If that page is demonstrably wrong or out of date, then I will either wait for update or a correct source will be decided upon and used as a replacement.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.)
My understanding of how nextspaceflight colours launches is that the launch ends with payload deployment. Therefore a problem with payload deployment could result in orange or red outlining for partial failure or failure. A failure after this like a deorbit burn failing has been shown outlined in green previously. As long as the outline colour is not clearly wrong resolution will be based on the outline colour. So while there could be some nuance by which my understanding above is incorrect, nextspaceflight method for determining success or partial failure as indicated by colours is what matters for resolution.
Could be launch of starship in May 2026 as well as Falcon 9 launches.
This market has lower values than previous markets following announcement that Just Read the Instructions droneship has been moved to Starship duties (probably transport rather than catch) and so is no longer expected to be available for falcon 9 catches almost certainly reducing falcon 9 launch cadence.

This one indicates only 11 scheduled in toto, including those already done, not sure where the 12 comes from.

On SpaceX page CRS-34 launched May 15th is shown as a 9 day plus ongoing mission rather than completed mission but the launch has happened.

@ChristopherRandles HM, I must have missed one, on the one I linked there were by my count only 7 completed, by now.

shows me 8
on 1, 3, 6, 12, 15, 20, 21, and then starship on 22. All with green surround line.

@ChristopherRandles Right. I will keep my bets on to make the lesson stick that as usual, should read carefully.
