These are launches under DBA Space’s own name in The Space Devs’ Launch Library. They don’t count missions or payloads. A spacecraft that flew on someone else’s rocket counts for the operator that flew it.
Operator or customer
An operator owns the rocket and runs the count, and the launch schedule filters by operator. A customer pays for the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. Some organisations are both. Below, DBA Space is counted in whichever role the current schedule gives it.

No scheduled flight names DBA Space with someone else flying it.
How we count it: a scheduled launch counts as a customer flight when this organisation’s name or abbreviation is in the launch name, mission name or programme, and someone else is flying it. We don’t search mission descriptions, and we only see the schedule as far as it goes, which is 2039-12-31 00:00:00Z. So treat both counts as a minimum.

Upcoming launches
The label on each flight says how exact its launch time is. If the date is only known to the month, you’ll see the month and no countdown. A weather go-probability only shows when Launch Library has one for that flight. EveryLaunch doesn’t work it out.

Common questions
- How many launches has Deep Blue Aerospace flown?
- Deep Blue Aerospace hasn't flown any launches under its own name. It has 1 scheduled.
- What is Deep Blue Aerospace's success rate?
- Deep Blue Aerospace hasn't flown any launches under its own name, so there's no success rate. Showing 0% would wrongly suggest it had failed.
- When is Deep Blue Aerospace's next launch?
- Nebula-1 | Demo Flight, set for 2026 from Land Launch Pad 1. Launch Library files only the year, so the date is a placeholder. Launch times are no-earlier-than targets and can move.
- Does Deep Blue Aerospace fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?
- Deep Blue Aerospace hasn't flown any launches under its own name. It's the operator on 1 scheduled flight. An operator owns the rocket and runs the count. A customer pays for the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. The operator filter on the launch schedule only lists operators, so a well-known agency can own a mission and still not show up there.
- Where is Deep Blue Aerospace based?
- China. Launch Library lists it as a commercial operator, founded in 2016.
