{{Short description|None}} {{More citations needed|date=December 2016}} {{GeoGroup}} This article constitutes a '''list of rocket launch sites'''. Some of these sites are known as spaceports or cosmodromes. A single rocket launch is sufficient for inclusion in the table, as long as the site is properly documented through a reference. Missile locations with no launches are not included in the list. Proposed and planned sites and sites under construction are not included in the main tabulation, but may appear in condensed lists under the tables.
A shorter list of spaceports for human spaceflight and satellite launches is available in the article Spaceport.
==Table specification== ===Sorting order=== * Countries in alphabetical order within a table * Launch sites within a country are sorted chronologically according to start of operations
===Column specification=== * Country – territory of the site (the organisation responsible for the launches may reside elsewhere, as indicated in the notes column; * Location – Name of launch site (sometimes also province etc.) * Coordinates – geographical coordinates * Operational date – the period of years of launch activities * Number of rocket launches – the total number of launches, including failed launches * Heaviest rocket launched – total mass at lift-off * Highest achieved altitude – height in km above launch site (unless orbital) * Notes – comments
Major/active spaceports are shown in '''bold'''.
