An earlier version of this Table was issued in 1970. The present revised edition incorporates several thousand amendments that have accumulated in the past eight years, and supersedes the previous version. Satellites launched in the years 1969-1973 are listed in Volume 2 (issued in 1974) and the launches during 1974-1978 will appear in Volume 3. The present volume includes 768 satellite launches, arranged chronologically. For each launch, the Table gives the name and international designation of each instrumented satellite and final-stage rocket, with the date of launch, lifetime (actual or estimated), mass, shape, dimensions and at least one set of orbital parameters. Other fragments associated with a launch are listed without these details. (Author)
