Which orbital launch vehicle has been "getting around" the most? Which rocket has put things in orbit from the largest number of different launch sites?



For the purposes of this question, allow for some flexibility; adding an extra side booster doesn't necessarily make it a different rocket. Two launch adjacent launch pads don't count as different sites, but Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and KSC would be different.



Launches from mobile launch platforms (on the ocean or land) shouldn't necessarily be counted as different just because each position is slightly different.

    I like this question and it definitely has a canonical answer as of this point in spacetime. However, I’m concerned that the answer to this question is likely to change over time. Perhaps there is a way to modify this question so that the answer withstands the test of time...

The Soyuz booster have been launched from:



  • Baikonur

  • Kourou

  • Vostochny

Making it the only rocket to have been launched from 3 (4 if you count USSR) different countries and 2 different continents !



This is a tie with the Falcon 9, launched from



  • Kennedy Space Center

  • Vandenberg Air Force Base

  • Cape Canaveral

Also a tie with Minotaur IV and Athena 1



  • Vandenberg Air Force Base

  • Kodiak

  • Cape Canaveral
