Vehicles built to travel beyond the atmosphere, including launch vehicles (rockets) and the spacecraft they carry, a transport mode recognized alongside the traditional five (rail, road, maritime, aviation, pipeline) as space transport matures from an experimental to an operational activity. Belongs here: named rockets and launch vehicle families. Does not belong here: aircraft that remain within the atmosphere, however high-performance, which belong under fixed-wing aircraft or lighter-than-air craft and rotorcraft.
