Here's a note from Mark Wade. I think he has one of the best, most
comprehensive sites anywhere.  (It should be noted in our faq, if it's
not there already).

======================================
In regard to recent postings about sources for data on satellite
launchings, Chinese LV specifications, etc. please note that my site 

http://solar.rtd.utk.edu/~mwade/spaceflt.htm

includes:

- All launches to orbit ever made;
- Many suborbital launches;
- Viewable chronologically, by launch vehicle, by spacecraft type, by
space project
- Mass and performance data on all launch vehicles ever flown to orbit
and many proposed launch vehicles;

My new listing of LV failures can be found at:

http://solar.rtd.utk.edu/~mwade/articles/thelures.htm

This is a resource sponsored by FPSPACE. At least those on the list
should be aware of it!!
