Abstract The space rocket launch malfunctions frequency has been analyzed depending on the level and the phase of solar activity cycle and the season of year. Comparative analysis of the temporal variations of the relative number of failed launches in Russian Federation and the United states has been conducted. It was stated that those variations were anti-persistent. It was shown that for the phase of rise of solar activity the relative amount of failed launches both in Russian Federation and the United states exceeds the similar values for that of its decline. However, an explicit dependence between solar activity and the amount of failed launches is not observed.
