Flight record
Launch statistics
These are launches under KhSC’s own name in The Space Devs’ Launch Library. They don’t count missions or payloads. A spacecraft that flew on someone else’s rocket counts for the operator that flew it.
Operator or customer
An operator owns the rocket and runs the count, and the launch schedule filters by operator. A customer pays for the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. Some organisations are both. Below, KhSC is counted in whichever role the current schedule gives it.
Manifest role
No scheduled flight names KhSC with someone else flying it.
How we count it: a scheduled launch counts as a customer flight when this organisation’s name or abbreviation is in the launch name, mission name or programme, and someone else is flying it. We don’t search mission descriptions, and we only see the schedule as far as it goes, which is 2039-12-31 00:00:00Z. So treat both counts as a minimum.

KhSC has nothing on the schedule we can see, which runs to 2039-12-31 00:00:00Z. Its missions show up here once a launch date is published.
All upcoming launchesThe label on each flight says how exact its launch time is. If the date is only known to the month, you’ll see the month and no countdown. A weather go-probability only shows when Launch Library has one for that flight. EveryLaunch doesn’t work it out.

Common questions
- How many launches has Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center flown?
- Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center has flown 193 launches under its own name. 178 succeeded and 15 failed. That counts launches it flew itself, not missions or payloads it contributed to.
- What is Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's success rate?
- 92.2%. That's 178 successful flights out of 193 attempts. Its last 4 launches in a row have succeeded.
- When is Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's next launch?
- Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center has nothing on the schedule EveryLaunch can see, which runs to 2039-12-31 00:00:00Z.
- Does Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?
- Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center has flown 193 launches under its own name. It isn't the operator on any scheduled flight we can see. An operator owns the rocket and runs the count. A customer pays for the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. The operator filter on the launch schedule only lists operators, so a well-known agency can own a mission and still not show up there.
- Where is Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center based?
- Russia. Launch Library lists it as a government operator, founded in 1916.
