Rockets built to lift satellites, crew and cargo into orbit, from the Saturn V of the Apollo programme to the partly reusable Falcon rockets and Europe's Ariane 5. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the craft a launch vehicle. It excludes crewed spacecraft that ride on top of a launcher. 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.
