Notable test flights of spaceflight systems may be listed even if they were not planned to reach space. Some lists are further divided into orbital launches (sending a payload into orbit, whether successful or not) and suborbital flights (e.g. ballistic missiles, sounding rockets, experimental spacecraft).
So far, the agency has only launched one uncrewed test flight of the rocket slated to fly astronauts to the moon: The Space Launch System. That test flight, called Artemis I, took flight in 2022.
