This dimension sorts launch vehicles by their payload class, from small rockets to super-heavy lift vehicles. Wikipedia notes that launch vehicles range "from small-, medium-, heavy- to super-heavy lift," a classification based on how much mass a vehicle can actually carry to orbit. Browsing by vehicle class compares rockets built to do a similar job.
