5,492 tonnes of disclosed payload mass have reached orbit since January 2024 — 92% of it on SpaceX vehicles
Full manifest →SpaceX flew 330 of the 503 completed flights on the tracked manifest and carried 92% of the disclosed mass; the other 16 providers lifted 424 t between them. 75 of those flights — 70 of them in the single CASC row for China 2025 batch (~70 flights total) — disclose no payload mass, so they count toward the flight total and add nothing to the tonnage or to any mass share.
