Launch Vehicle Mark III
The Launch Vehicle Mark-3 or LVM3 (previously referred as the GSLV Mk III) is a three-stage medium-lift launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Primarily designed to launch communication satellites into geostationary orbit, it is also due to launch crewed missions under the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme. LVM3 has a higher payload capacity than its predecessor, GSLV.

H-II
The H-II (H2) rocket was a Japanese satellite launch system, which flew seven times between 1994 and 1999, with five successes. It was developed by NASDA in order to give Japan a capability to launch larger satellites in the 1990s. It was the first two-stage liquid-fuelled rocket Japan made using only technologies developed domestically. It was superseded by the H-IIA rocket following reliability and cost issues.
Pegasus
air-launched rocket
Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle
five-stage solid propellant rocket
H-IIB
The H-IIB (H2B) was a Japanese expendable launch system jointly developed by JAXA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It was used exclusively to launch the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV, or Kōnotori) cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station.

Unha
The Unha () is a North Korean expendable carrier rocket, which partially utilizes the same delivery system as the Taepodong-2 orbital launch system.
VLS-1
The VLS-1 () was the Brazilian Space Agency's main satellite launch vehicle. The launch vehicle would have been capable of launching satellites into orbit. The launch site was located at the Alcântara Launch Center due to its proximity to the equator.

Shtil'
Space launch vehicle Shtil' (Russian: Штиль - calm (weather)), is a converted SLBM used for launching artificial satellites into orbit, with a payload of around . It is the first launch vehicle to successfully launch a payload into orbit from a submarine, although launch from land based structures is possible as well.

Shuttle-Centaur
Shuttle-Centaur was a version of the Centaur upper stage rocket designed to be carried aloft inside the Space Shuttle and used to launch satellites into high Earth orbits or probes into deep space. Two variants were developed: Centaur G-Prime, which was planned to launch the Galileo and Ulysses robotic probes to Jupiter, and Centaur G, a shortened version planned for use with United States Department of Defense Milstar satellites and the Magellan Venus probe. The powerful Centaur upper stage allowed for heavier deep space probes, and for them to reach Jupiter sooner, prolonging the operational
