How it is computed
GCAT launch list, orbital and deep-space attempts by launching agency's country, from the Launch log dataset on this site. visualizedata.org computes the indicator for every place and year; the full table, the map and each place's history are on its page there. The underlying data, with its source and license, is on the dataset page, with the API and downloads.
