List of V-2 test launches

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

Launches of A4b

Rocket number	Date	Launch site	Range	Remarks
G-1	27 December 1944	Pad 10	0	Guidance failure 50 metres above ground
G-2	13 January 1945			Failure. Launch attempt controversial
G-3	24 January 1945	Oie		Successful launch, but wing broke at flight

Operation Backfire launches near Cuxhaven

For Operation Backfire, the British collected from Mittlwerk and areas under British control sufficient parts to assemble a small number of V-2s to be launched by German personnel so Allies could learn of the handling and launching of the rockets. The final launch was a demonstration for representatives of the United States, USSR, France, and the press.

Date	Launch time	Maximum height	Length of flight	Remarks
2 October 1945	14:41
4 October 1945	14:16			Engine failure soon after launch.
15 October 1945	15:06			Operation Clitterhouse. V-2 performed as planned and landed near target point in the North Sea

Launches of captured V-2 rockets in the United States after 1945

The Upper Atmosphere Research Panel performed experiments on US flights of V-2s.

Launches of V2 by the Soviet Union

The USSR captured the V-2 production facility at Nordhausen and assembled their own V-2s. Subsequently, they moved the equipment to the USSR and developed their own copy, the missile R-1.

Rocket number	Date	Launch site	Range	Remarks
T-01	18 October 1947	Kapustin Yar	207	Vehicle disintegrated at atmospheric reentry.
T-02	20 October 1947	Kapustin Yar	231	Deviated 181 kilometres from intended flight path.
T-03	23 October 1947	Kapustin Yar	29	Observation of vehicle was hampered by low cloud cover. Vehicle disintegrated, possibly due to the warhead failure.
T-04	28 October 1947	Kapustin Yar	29	Success.
