Commercial Launch Service Providers

Private companies that sell rides to space, building and flying the rockets that put satellites, cargo and crews into orbit for governments and paying customers rather than for a national space agency. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the organisation a launch company, a commercial launch provider or a launch service provider, including joint ventures formed by established aerospace manufacturers to sell launches. It excludes the government space agencies that own their own launch programmes and the manufacturers that only build rockets for others. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
