Beyond Earth Orbit launches by year*
Notes:
- For a BEO launch at least one of the launched payload is intended for leaving geocentric orbit.
- Launches with both geocentric and beo spacecrafts as payload are included.
- Only the final orbit of the payloads are considered. Some launches may end up with upper stages in heliocentric orbit while the launched spacecraft remain in geocentric orbit (ex. TESS with Falcon 9). These launches are not included.
