European launch vehicles with maiden flights in 2023

The Road to orbit in 2023 infographic was an attempt to map out the progress being made with the five European orbital-class launch vehicles that are expected to debut in 2023. To do this, I looked at if each company had tested the first stage, second stage, and, where applicable, third stage engines, conducted integrated testing, and if the launch complex that is expected to host the launch of the vehicle is completed. The result is a graphic that gives the viewer a pretty good idea of which companies are at the head of the pack to launch first or at all in 2023.
