A space mission is a spaceflight intended to obtain an objective. The objectives for space missions may include space exploration, space research, and national firsts in spaceflight. For example, Sputnik 1 was intended to be the first artificial satellite in outer space, and is considered a space mission.

For the purpose of this list, a spaceflight is defined as any flight that crosses the Kármán line, the FAI-recognized edge of space, which is 100 km above mean sea level (AMSL).
