Rideshare launch with 143 SmallSats in total: Starlink v1.0 R1-1 to -10, QPS-SAR 2, Capella 3 and 4, ICEYE X8 and X9, XR 1, GHGSat C2, Hawk 2A, 2B, and 2C, Astrocast 0101 to 0105, PTD 1, Prometheus 2.10, ARCE 1A, 1B, and 1C, SpaceBEE 40 to 75, Charlie, Hiber 4, ASELSAT, PIXL 1, SOMP 2b, IDEASSat, YUSAT 1, UVSQ-SAT, V-R3x 1, 2, and 3, Flock-4s 1 to 48, Kepler 8 to 15, Lemur-2 130 to 137.

Cargo resupply docked with ISS for 131 days. The 23 SmallSats on board the Cygnus spacecraft were deployed from the ISS subsequent to docking: MMSATS-1, ThinSat-2 x9, GuaraniSat 1, Gunsmoke J2, Hirogari, IT-SPINS, Maya 2, MYSat 2, ORCA 6 and 7, RSP 01, STARS EC, TAU-SAT 1TSURU, WARP 01.

Launched sats: BlackSky 7, Centauri 3, Myriota 7, RAAF-M2 A and B, Gunsmoke-J 3, Veery RL-1, Pathstone.

The longest spaceflight by a U.S. crewed spacecraft. Due to launch delays for Crew-3, Crew-2 returned to Earth before the arrival of Crew-3 at the ISS.

Docked with ISS for 36 days. Landed July 10, 2021. The four CubeSats were deployed from the ISS later in June 2021: G-Satellite 2, MIR-SAT1, RamSat, SOAR.

U.S. official stated "is aware of an Iranian rocket launch failure". Satellite imagery "looked like a launch" occurred. Iran's Telecommunications Minister denied any launch.

First crewed flight to the Tianhe core module of the Tiangong space station.

Dedicated SmallSat Rideshare mission.

PL fairing failed to separate correctly.

Cargo resupply docked with ISS for 100 days. PIRPL was a multispectral camera initially mounted on the outside of the Cygnus spacecraft.

Cargo resupply that landed on October 1, 2021. The seven CubeSats on board were launched from the ISS in October 2021: CAPSat, PR_CuNaR 2, SPACE-HAUC, CUAVA 1, Binar 1, Maya 3 and 4.

First launch of 51 Starlink Block v1.5 satellites featuring laser inter-satellite links.

The first orbital spaceflight with only private crew aboard.

Although the rocket had followed the correct trajectory, the Shiyan 10 payload itself had failed during the ascent.

NASA Discovery Program mission to observe main belt asteroids and Jupiter Trojan asteroids.

3rd stage burned out early. No orbit. Planned 700 km LEO/S. Dummysat separated as planned.

First Astra Rocket 3 launch to successfully reach orbit. STP-27AD2 collected data on the rocket’s performance during launch.

Mission to impact Dimorphos, a small asteroid orbiting Didymos. LICIACube is a CubeSat launched on board DART to image the effects of DART’s impact.

Cargo resupply docked with ISS for 32 days. Landed January 24, 2022. The seven CubeSats on board were deployed from the ISS in early 2022.

Persei upper stage (upgraded DM-03) failed during second of three planned burns.

The rocket flew southeast from Semnan, reaching 470 km and 7,350 meters per second velocity, which was about 300 meters per second short of orbital velocity.
