Space Transport and Launch Service Operators

Organizations, government and private, that operate orbital and interplanetary launch services and spacecraft transport, a network category distinct from the manufacturers who build the vehicles they fly. Belongs here: any named space agency or launch service operator of real historical or engineering significance. Does not belong here: the spacecraft or launch vehicle itself, tracked as a vehicle entity under Spacecraft and Launch Vehicles, or a manufacturer whose business is chiefly building rather than operating, tracked under Vehicle and Equipment Manufacturers.
