The development of a relational database for recording launches of small spacecraft, covering the period from 1998 to 2024, is considered. Reflecting the growing interest in this category of spacecraft, the database allows for the systematization of information and significantly simplifies the conduct of analytical research. In the course of the study, an analysis of open sources was carried out, which made it possible to form the database structure and identify the key objects contained within it. The appearance and functionality of the user interface are also described. The results demonstrate that the created database not only contributes to the efficient recording of launches but also opens up new opportunities for analysis and forecasting in the field of space technology.
