# 2013 in spaceflight

"none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]]
In 2013, the maiden spaceflight of the Orbital Sciences' Antares launch vehicle, designated A-ONE, took place on 13 April. Orbital Science also launched its first spacecraft, Cygnus, that docked with the International Space Station in late September 2013.
A total of 81 orbital launches were attempted in 2013, of which 77 were successful, one was partially successful and three were failures. The year also saw eleven EVAs by ISS astronauts. The majority of the year's orbital launches were conducted by Russia, the United States and China, with 31, 19 and 15 launches respectively.

## Overview

India's Indian Space Research Organisation launched its first mission to Mars with the Mars Orbiter Mission that successfully reached Mars orbit on 23 September 2014.
Numerous significant milestones in robotic spaceflight occurred in 2013, including the landing of China's Chang'e 3 lander at Moon's Mare Imbrium on 14 December; it is China's first attempt and first successful soft landing by its spacecraft on an extraterrestrial surface.
Five crewed orbital launches were conducted during 2013, all successfully, carrying a total of 15 astronauts into orbit. Four of these missions were flown with the Russian Soyuz spacecraft and one with the Chinese Shenzhou.

## Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVAs)

| Start Date/Time | Duration | End Time | Spacecraft | Crew | Remarks |
| 19 April 14:03 | 6 hours 38 minutes | 20:41 | Expedition 35/36 ISS Pirs | Pavel Vinogradov Roman Romanenko | Installed the Obstanovka plasma waves and ionosphere experiment to the exterior of the Zvezda service module. Also replaced a faulty retro-reflector device used as navigational aids for the Automatic Transfer Vehicle and retrieved the Biorisk microbe exposure experiment. An attempt to retrieve the Vinoslivost materials sample experiment failed when it was accidentally dropped while being taken back to the Pirs module airlock. |
| 11 May 12:44 | 5 hours 30 minutes | 18:14 | Expedition 35/36 ISS Quest | Christopher Cassidy Thomas Marshburn | Replaced the 2B Pump Flow Control Subassembly (PFCS) on the Port 6 truss in attempting to locate the source of an ammonia coolant leak on the Port 6 truss Photo Voltaic Thermal Control System (PVTCS). |
| 24 June 13:32 | 6 hours 34 minutes | 20:06 | Expedition 36/37 ISS Pirs | Fyodor Yurchikhin Aleksandr Misurkin | Replaced a fluid flow regulator on the Zarya module, testing of the Kurs docking system on the station ahead of the arrival of a new Russian module, installing the "Indicator" experiment, installing gap spanners on to the outside of the station and photographing the multilayer insulation (MLI) protecting the Russian segment from micrometeoroids and taking samples from the exterior surface of the pressure hull underneath the MLI to identify signs of pressure hull material microscopic deterioration. |
| 9 July 12:02 | 6 hours 7 minutes | 18:09 | Expedition 36/37 ISS Quest | Christopher Cassidy Luca Parmitano | Replaced a failed Space-to-Ground Transmitter Receiver Controller and the Mobile Base Camera Light Pan-Tilt Assembly, retrieved the MISSE-8 and ORMatE-III experiments, photographed the AMS-02, moved two Radiator Grapple Bars to either sides of the truss, routed power cables to support the addition of the new Russian MLM and installed a multi-layer insulation cover to protect the docking interface of PMA-2. |
| 16 July 11:57 | 1 hours 32 minutes | 13:29 | Expedition 36/37 ISS Quest | Christopher Cassidy Luca Parmitano | Installed a Y-bypass jumper on power lines on the Z1 truss, routing 1553 data cables for a grapple fixture and Ethernet cables for a future Russian station module. The spacewalk was then cut short after Parmitano reported excess water leaking inside his helmet. |
| 16 August 14:36 | 7 hours 29 minutes | 22:05 | Expedition 36/37 ISS Pirs | Fyodor Yurchikhin Aleksandr Misurkin | Routed power and Ethernet cables for later attachment to the future Nauka module. Also installed connectors between modules and a material science experiment. |
| 22 August 11:34 | 5 hours 58 minutes | 17:32 | Expedition 36/37 ISS Pirs | Fyodor Yurchikhin Aleksandr Misurkin | Removed a laser communication and installed an EVA work station and camera pointing platform outside the Zvezda service module, inspection and tightening of various antenna covers on Zvezda, and installed new spacewalk aids. |
| 9 November 14:34 | 5 hours 50 minutes | 20:24 | Expedition 37/38 ISS Pirs | Oleg Kotov Sergey Ryazansky | Took the Olympic torch for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games to the outside of ISS. They also continued work on an extravehicular activity workstation and biaxial pointing platform by removing launch brackets and bolts, as well as retrieving an experimental package. The planned installation of a foot restraint on the mounting seat of the workstation was deferred to a future spacewalk after the spacewalkers noticed some issues with its alignment. |

## Orbital launch statistics
### By country

For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket.
