In spaceflight, a launch vehicle or carrier rocketis a rocket used to carry a payload from the Earth's surface into outer space. A launch system includes the launch vehicle, the launch pad and other infrastructure.[1] Usually the payload is an artificial satellite placed into orbit, but some spaceflights are sub-orbital while others enable spacecraft to escape Earth orbit entirely. A launch vehicle which carries its payload on a suborbital trajectory is often called a sounding rocket

Design the satellite and choose a launch vehicle. Prepare the satellite for launch by testing and integrating it with the launch vehicle. Schedule a launch opportunity with a spaceport. Conduct a pre-launch check to ensure all systems are functioning properly. Launch the satellite into its designated orbit.
