2021 in spaceflight split edit

On December 28, 2020, 2021 in spaceflight was split due to Wikipedia's post expansion include size limit. See the discussion at Talk:2021 in spaceflight#Template post-expansion include size exceeded. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 21:10, 28 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Move discussion in progress edit

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:2021 in spaceflight (January–June) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 20:50, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Starship OVTF edit

Regarding the planned Starship orbital velocity test flight, the trajectory should be classed as transatmospheric, not suborbital (this is what that bar is on the yearly statistics page). For those who don't know, a transatmospheric is a class or orbit whose perigee is above the surface, but below the space line (100 km or 50 mi, what have you) AKA within atmosphere. This differs from a suborbital flight whose perigee is negative. Granted, it's likely a bit too early to know the full trajectory details, but this should be classed as transatmospheric rather than suborbital (We get to finally use that statistic). Thanks!--Jrcraft Yt (talk) 03:11, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

We've used transatmospheric before, last I can recall was Vega VV04 which launches the Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle on a transatmospheric flight.--Jrcraft Yt (talk) 03:16, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Do you have any reliable source that specifically mentions the intended perigee of the what you have termed the 'Starship orbital velocity test flight' is below the space line? AmigaClone (talk) 22:36, 9 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

ARCA Space edit

There will be no ARCA Space launch from Romania, all their activities are shady or just plain scam. Their presence on this page doesn't make any sense. Source: I follow their activities for years, they only promises extraordinary things but they never delivered anything.

I know that things won't probably go as planned (or at least as announced), but I think that as long as their official social media profiles keep talking about a scheduled orbital launch attempt with such close launch date we should include it in the list.--Fm3dici97 (talk) 14:18, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
