In 2013, the maiden spaceflight of the Orbital Sciences' Antares launch vehicle, designated A-ONE, took place on 13 April.

[1] Orbital Science also launched its first spacecraft, Cygnus, that docked with the International Space Station in late September 2013.

[2] Numerous significant milestones in robotic spaceflight occurred in 2013, including the landing of China's Chang'e 3 lander at Moon's Mare Imbrium on 14 December; it is China's first attempt and first successful soft landing by its spacecraft on an extraterrestrial surface.

Four of these missions were flown with the Russian Soyuz spacecraft and one with the Chinese Shenzhou.

For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket.
