Launching State attributionJOINT & SEVERAL
A State qualifies if it launches, procures the launch, or the launch occurs from its territory or facility. Status is fixed at launch and does not transfer with the operator.
LimbStateTierBasis
Facility US T3 DERIVED Launched from Air Force Western Test Range, California, USA (US) — provisional, from the CelesTrak catalogue pending the curated launch record
Outer Space Treaty Art. VII, Liability Convention Art. I(c) and Registration Convention Art. I(a) — State from whose facility an object is launched
Territory US T3 DERIVED Launch site Air Force Western Test Range, California, USA is on the territory of US (operated by US) — OAR launch-site mapping (CelesTrak SATCAT site code)
Outer Space Treaty Art. VII, Liability Convention Art. I(c) and Registration Convention Art. I(a) — State from whose territory an object is launched
A State qualifies if it launches, procures the launching, or the launch is from its territory or facility — more than one State can qualify for one object, and launching States are jointly and severally liable (Liability Convention Art. V). Launching-State status is fixed at launch and does not transfer when operators change. Tier 4 claims are inferred from owner nationality and are the weakest: rideshare procurement through integrators is genuinely contestable.
