This report summarizes U.S. and international launch activities for calendar year 2004 and provides a historical look at the past five years of commercial launch activities. The Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA/AST) licensed nine commercial orbital launches and five suborbital launches in 2004. Of the nine orbital licensed launches, six were of U.S.-built vehicles. International Launch Services (ILS) launched three Atlas 2AS boosters, carrying the AMC 10, AMC 11, and Superbird 6 communications satellites; these launches were the last commercial missions for the Atlas 2 family of vehicles, which ILS and Lockheed Martin retired in 2004.
