These are launches under EP’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, EP is counted in whichever role the current schedule gives it.

No scheduled flight names EP 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.

Common questions
- How many launches has ExPace flown?
- ExPace has flown 35 launches under its own name. 31 succeeded and 4 failed. That counts launches it flew itself, not missions or payloads it contributed to.
- What is ExPace's success rate?
- 88.6%. That's 31 successful flights out of 35 attempts. Its last 6 launches in a row have succeeded.
- When is ExPace's next launch?
- Kuaizhou 11 | Unknown Payload, set for November 12, 2026 at about 19:50 UTC from Launch Area 95A. Launch Library files that time to the hour, so it can be out by up to an hour. Launch times are no-earlier-than targets and can move.
- Does ExPace fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?
- ExPace has flown 35 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 ExPace based?
- China. Launch Library lists it as a commercial operator, founded in 2016.
