cns-missile-test-databases.Rddprk_missile_tests_df
The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) North Korea Missile Test Database is the first database to record flight tests of all missiles launched by North Korea capable of delivering a payload of at least 500 kilograms (1102.31 pounds) a distance of at least 300 kilometers (186.4 miles). The database captures advancements in North Korea's missile program by documenting all such tests since the first one occurred in April 1984, and will be routinely updated as events warrant.
iran_missile_tests_df
The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies Iran Missile and SLV Launch Database records flight tests and operational uses of all missiles and SLVs launched by Iran that are capable of delivering a payload of at least 500 kilograms (1102.31 pounds) a distance of at least 300 kilometers (186.4 miles). The database captures advancements in Iran’s rocket programs by documenting all such launches by Iran since the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988. The database will be routinely updated as events warrant.
india_missile_tests_df and pakistan_missile_tests_df
The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) India and Pakistan Missile Launch Databases record flight tests of all missiles launched by India and Pakistan, as well as space launch vehicles (SLVs) tested by India, that are capable of delivering a payload of at least 500 kilograms (1102.31 pounds) or traveling a distance of at least 300 kilometers (186.4 miles). The database captures advancements in both countries’ rocket programs by documenting all such launches carried out by India and Pakistan. The database will be routinely updated as events warrant.
