A second clear thing, is the most missions causes was Communications and it is around 25 per cent of purposes .Secondly for Surveillance satellites which present about one fifth of the total . for research is just above 10% . those spacecrafts were lunched because of manned space program is similar to those for weather observations which is 6 percent . 5% present the spacecrafts were lunched for Exploration .
