<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>The internationally accepted definition of a spaceflight is any flight which crosses the <a href="/facts/K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n_line/CfvQ3fbp">Kármán line</a>, 100 kilometres above sea level. The first recorded spaceflight launch of the year occurred on 11 January, when a <a href="/facts/Black_Brant_(rocket)/mxjN9D4v">Black Brant</a> was launched on a <a href="/facts/Suborbital/NdLRlGIq">suborbital</a> trajectory from <a href="/facts/White_Sands_Missile_Range/JUsgxDjF">White Sands</a>, with the <a href="/facts/LIDOS/0qQFnd4s">LIDOS</a> <a href="/facts/Ultraviolet_astronomy/X4Y86Wg7">ultraviolet astronomy</a> payload.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> This was followed by the first orbital launch of the year on 15 January, by a <a href="/facts/Sea_Launch/7LbLz348">Sea Launch</a> <a href="/facts/Zenit-3SL/g2gQntg4">Zenit-3SL</a>, with the <a href="/facts/Thuraya_3/jIRoAADP">Thuraya 3</a> communications satellite.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> The launch marked the return to flight for Sea Launch following the explosion of a Zenit-3SL on the launch pad the previous January during an attempt to launch the <a href="/facts/NSS-8/mTyRlqU1">NSS-8</a> satellite. </p><p>Five carrier rockets made their maiden flights in 2008; the <a href="/facts/Ariane_5/H78wlLG4">Ariane 5ES</a>, <a href="/facts/Long_March_3C/mFRsmux1">Long March 3C</a>, <a href="/facts/Zenit-3SLB/ewVWBXsz">Zenit-3SLB</a>, <a href="/facts/Polar_Satellite_Launch_Vehicle/KantsJM7">PSLV-XL</a>, and the operational version of the <a href="/facts/Falcon_1/F4DBbpCS">Falcon 1</a>, with an uprated <a href="/facts/SpaceX_Merlin/95qreG8R">Merlin-1C</a> engine.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> These were all derived from existing systems. The <a href="/facts/Sparrow_target_missile/XAr5QgJC">Blue Sparrow</a> and <a href="/facts/Sejjil/n1t7S6og">Sejjil</a> missiles also conducted their maiden flights, and the <a href="/facts/ALV_X-1/K730yTvU">ATK Launch Vehicle</a> made its only flight, but was destroyed by <a href="/facts/Range_safety/gRaLMqaj">range safety</a> after it went off course. In November, the baseline <a href="/facts/Proton-M/F9I5QHR7">Proton-M</a> was retired in favour of the Enhanced variant, first launched in <a href="/facts/2007_in_spaceflight/WEueS2FR">2007</a>. </p><p>The first <a href="/facts/Vietnam/0ulfA8Eq">Vietnamese</a> and <a href="/facts/Venezuela/eX1qnkln">Venezuelan</a> satellites, <a href="/facts/Vinasat-1/nLhRxAvw">Vinasat-1</a> and <a href="/facts/Venesat-1/Q8zF1rnk">Venesat-1</a> respectively, were launched in 2008, while a failed <a href="/facts/Iran/24yukge8">Iranian</a> launch was reported to have been that country's first indigenous orbital launch attempt. In September, <a href="/facts/SpaceX/2tKHsVdJ">SpaceX</a> conducted the first successful orbital launch of a privately developed and funded liquid-fuelled carrier rocket, when the fourth <a href="/facts/Falcon_1/F4DBbpCS">Falcon 1</a> launched <a href="/facts/Falcon_1_Flight_4/ye2C7wzm">RatSat</a>, following previous failures in 2006, 2007, and August. </p> <h2 id="space-exploration">Space exploration</h2> <p><a href="/facts/India/1kKHcnxM">India</a> launched its first Lunar probe, <a href="/facts/Chandraayan-1/IqP3zwxy">Chandraayan-1</a>, on 22 October, with the spacecraft entering <a href="/facts/Selenocentric_orbit/486BxvD6">selenocentric orbit</a> on 8 November. On 16 November, the <a href="/facts/Moon_Impact_Probe/HuzJUmqL">Moon Impact Probe</a> was released, and crashed into the Lunar surface. Although no other spacecraft were launched beyond <a href="/facts/Geocentric_orbit/geC4BF1x">geocentric orbit</a> in 2008, several significant events occurred in interplanetary flights which had been launched in previous years. <a href="/facts/MESSENGER/EFJEPNxR">MESSENGER</a> conducted flybys of Mercury in January and October, the first spacecraft to do so since <a href="/facts/Mariner_10/jpKRBPKH">Mariner 10</a> in 1975. <a href="/facts/Cassini-Huygens/PWknrDeY">Cassini</a> continued to make flybys of the moons of <a href="/facts/Saturn/D54LcGJ9">Saturn</a>, including several close passes of <a href="/facts/Enceladus_(moon)/DyWXz9jl">Enceladus</a>, one at a distance of 25 kilometres.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> In September <a href="/facts/Rosetta_(spacecraft)/ASd7ggs3">Rosetta</a> flew past the asteroid <a href="/facts/2867_%C5%A0teins/WaPTXqcF">2867 Šteins</a>.
