I present an improved list of suborbital launches for the year 2000. Thanks to Carl Rigg and David Legangneux for sending me some extra info; the list below includes those launches I have managed to confirm. Large rockets not in the list include the Hera launch of Feb 5 (apogee only 60 km, so not a space launch) and the Arrow 2 launch of Sep 14 (apogee probably 10-40 km). Small rockets such as the Nike Orion are also omitted.
