The article presents the research of launch vehicle (LV) operations in the world for the period 2007–2018. The information available in open sources is collected in a database implemented in the Access program, which made it possible to optimize the work with a large amount of data in the search and selection of necessary indicators. A graphical and numerical analysis of forecasting LV operations by extrapolation of trends and time (dynamic) series, performed in Excel, is also presented.
Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that the positive dynamics of the spacecraft launches in the near future. This, undoubtedly, indicates the need for further development of new technologies for the production of rocket and space technology products, including those made of composite materials.
