Agency record

Every figure on this page is counted from the committed mission records that list National Aeronautics and Space Administration among their agencies. None of them is maintained by hand.

Active missions are excluded from the success rate: a live mission has no outcome yet, so counting it would report a rate the records do not support. 5 of the 18 records are still active, leaving 13 concluded. A partial success is a distinct recorded outcome, so it is not counted in the numerator, but it stays in the denominator.

A mission can carry several types, so these figures need not add up either. Types no mission here carries are omitted.

These records in the directory

An agency is recorded exactly as the mission’s own sources name it, so a differently spelled or differently scoped name is a separate record with its own page rather than something folded into this one. The directory’s agency filter matches the same string this page counts.
