This is definitely not correct. The info is misleading! UAE is incorrect added to Japan?

UAE is about to land on Mars and has launched back in july from Japanese spaceport..

This is what is says about the section shown by TS

''For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket. Launches from the Moon are not included in the statistics''

It is correct. The rocket is Japan. Here we are talking about launches and not mission.
