2013 in spaceflight

India's Indian Space Research Organisation launched its first mission to Mars with the Mars Orbiter Mission that successfully reached Mars orbit on 23 September 2014. 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. Five crewed orbital launches were conducted during 2013, all successfully, carrying a total of 15 astronauts into orbit. Four of these missions were flown with the Russian Soyuz spacecraft and one with the Chinese Shenzhou. ==Orbital launches==

By country For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket. {{Pie chart {"value":310, "color":"#a52a2a", "label": "Russia: 31 (38.28%)"}, {"value":190, "color":"#484785", "label": "United States: 19 (23.46%)"}, {"value":150, "color":"#ff0000", "label": "China: 15 (18.52%)"}, {"value":40, "color":"#ffd700", "label": "Ukraine: 4 (4.94%)"}, {"value":40, "color":"#318ce7", "label": "France: 4 (4.94%)"}, {"value":30, "color":"#ffffff", "label": "Japan: 3 (3.70%)"}, {"value":30, "color":"#ff9933", "label": "India: 3 (3.70%)"}, {"value":15, "color":"#808000", "label": "Italy: 1 (1.23%)"}, {"value":15, "color":"#800080", "label": "South Korea: 1 (1.23%)"}, ] }} By rocket By family By type By configuration By spaceport By orbit == Notes ==
