List of V-2 test launches

Depiction of the Versuchsmuster 5 (English: Test/Experimental Type 5)

The list of V-2 test launches identifies World War II launches of the A4 rocket (renamed V-2 in 1944). Test launches were made at Peenemünde Test Stand VII, Blizna and Tuchola Forest using experimental and production rockets fabricated at Peenemünde and at the Mittelwerk. Post-war launches were conducted at Cuxhaven, White Sands Proving Grounds, Cape Canaveral, Kapustin Yar, and on the USS Midway during Operation Sandy.

List of test launches at Peenemünde and the Greifswalder Oie

Rocket number	Date	Burning time (s)	Range (km)	Pad	Remarks
1942
V-1	18 March,^[1]^:160 1942	-	0	Tower	The first A-4 flight-test model was completed 25 February 1942,^[2] but slipped out of its "corset" after being fully tanked at Test Stand VII, fell 2 meters, smashed three fins, and came to rest on the rim of the engine nozzle.^[1]^:158 After being repaired and renamed Versuchsmuster 1 (V1: Experimental Type 1),^[3]^:9,41^[4] the rocket failed during a test firing (witnessed by Albert Speer) and was junked without any launch attempt.^[1]
V-2	13 June 1942	36	1.3	P-VII	After being photographed by a British Supermarine Spitfire on 15 May, the second flight test model was damaged during its fourth firing test on 20 May, and then at the launch (observed by Speer, Erhard Milch, Fromm, Leeb, Witzell); a roll-rate gyro malfunctioned immediately after launch.^[1]^:161–2 After the rolling missile became supersonic, the propellant feed system failed, telemetry ended at 54 sec (15000 ft), and the missile fell cart-wheeling into the Baltic less than a kilometer^[5] away and exploded.^[6]^[7]
V-3	16 August 1942	45	8.7	P-VII	Nose broke off
V-4	3 October 1942	58	190	P-VII	Too steep due to pitch program error, otherwise success. Altitude 85 – 90 km - approximately the Kármán line altitude (85 ~ 100km), where aerodynamic lift vanishes. It was described at the time as the first rocket to reach the edge of space,^[8]^[9] though not according to the modern FAI definition of 100km altitude. However, both the physical Kármán line and jurisdictional FAI definitions were made much later.
