The following space vehicles and [[spaceport]]s are currently used for launching human spaceflights:
* [[Soyuz programme|Soyuz program]]/[[Soyuz (spacecraft)|spacecraft]] (Russia): Launched on [[Soyuz (rocket family)|Soyuz launch vehicle]] from [[Baikonur Cosmodrome]]. The first crewed flight was in 1967. {{as of|2025|March}}, there have been 153 crewed flights, all of them orbital except one suborbital flight abort and one atmospheric flight abort. The first 66 flights were launched by the [[Soviet Union]].
* [[China Manned Space Program]]/[[Shenzhou spacecraft]] (China): Launched on [[Long March (rocket family)|Long March launch vehicle]] from [[Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center]]. The first crewed flight was in 2003. {{as of|2025|March}}, there have been 14 crewed orbital flights.
* [[Crew Dragon|SpaceX Crew Dragon]] (US): Launched on [[Falcon 9 Block 5|Falcon 9]] launch vehicle from either [[Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A]] or [[Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40]]. The first crewed flight was in 2020. {{as of|2025|March}}, there have been 16 crewed orbital flights.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NASA Astronauts Launch from America in Test of SpaceX Crew Dragon|url=http://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-astronauts-launch-from-america-in-historic-test-flight-of-spacex-crew-dragon|last=Potter|first=Sean|date=2020-05-30|website=NASA|access-date=2020-05-31}}</ref><ref name=Inspiration4/>
* [[New Shepard]] (US): Launched on New Shepard launch vehicle from [[Corn Ranch]] spaceport. The first crewed flight was in 2021. {{as of|2025|March}}, there have been ten crewed suborbital flights.
* [[Boeing Starliner]] (US): Launched on [[Atlas V N22]] launch vehicle from [[Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 41]]. The first crewed launch was in 2024. {{as of|2025|March}}, there have been 1 crewed orbital launch, with the crew of the first launch transferring to [[SpaceX Crew-9]] while in orbit.

The following [[space stations]] are currently maintained in Earth orbit for human occupation:
* [[International Space Station]] (US, Russia, Europe, Japan, Canada) assembled in orbit: altitude {{convert|409|km|nmi|sp=us|abbr=off}}, 51.65° orbital inclination; crews transported by Soyuz or Crew Dragon spacecraft
* [[Tiangong Space Station]] (China) assembled in orbit: 41.5° orbital inclination;<ref>{{cite web |last1=McDowell |first1=Jonathan |title=Jonathan's Space Report No. 792 |url=https://planet4589.org/space/jsr/back/news.792.txt |access-date=12 July 2021}}</ref> crews transported by Shenzhou spacecraft

Most of the time, the only humans in space are those aboard the ISS, which generally has a crew of 7, and those aboard Tiangong, which generally has a crew of 3.

[[NASA]] and [[ESA]] use the term "human spaceflight" to refer to their programs of launching people into space. These endeavors have also formerly been referred to as "manned space missions", though this is no longer official parlance according to NASA style guides, which call for [[gender-neutral language]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://history.nasa.gov/styleguide.html |title=Style Guide |publisher=[[NASA]] |access-date=6 January 2016}}</ref>
