MaiaSpace

Flight record

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

No scheduled flight names MaiaSpace 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.

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 MaiaSpace flown?

MaiaSpace hasn't flown any launches under its own name. It has 2 scheduled.

What is MaiaSpace's success rate?

MaiaSpace 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 MaiaSpace's next launch?

Maia | Demo Flight, set for the second half of 2027 from Soyuz Launch Complex. Launch Library files only the second half of the year, so the date is a placeholder. Launch times are no-earlier-than targets and can move.

Does MaiaSpace fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?

MaiaSpace hasn't flown any launches under its own name. It's the operator on 2 scheduled flights. 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 MaiaSpace based?

France. Launch Library lists it as a private operator, founded in 2022.
