This dimension sorts missions by their basic type, such as a crewed flight, a robotic probe or a satellite launch. Wikipedia notes that spaceflights "include the launches of Earth observation and telecommunications satellites, interplanetary missions, the rendezvouses and dockings with space stations, and crewed spaceflights on scientific or tourist missions." Browsing by mission type keeps similar kinds of missions grouped together.
