Special cases:
- Deep Space means the launch sent objects more than 150,000 km from Earth.
- Orb LVFail means that although the launch was assessed a failure, at least some objects were placed in an orbit of some kind
(for example, upper stage failures leaving the payload stranded in low orbit).
- Orb Marginal means the perigee was positive but the objects
reentered within an orbit.
- Orb Energy means that the overall energy of the trajectory was enough for orbit, but the velocity vector was not in the right
direction for this - for example, high energy reentry tests
- XT Launch means a launch from the surface of a world other than Earth
