Spacecraft by Silhouette

Since the first human voyage into outer space in 1961, twelve different types of crewed spacecraft have flown above the Kármán line (the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space, an altitude of 100 kilometres or 62 miles). Based on the hints and silhouettes below, how many can you name?
As of June 2020. Hints include years of operation, nation of origin and number of crewmembers. Spacecraft not to scale.
An asterisk (*) denotes a 'spacecraft' that was designed as an aircraft, but breached the Kármán line on several ocassions.
