Skyrora

Flight record

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

No scheduled flight names SKR 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 Skyrora flown?

Skyrora hasn't flown any launches under its own name. It has 1 scheduled.

What is Skyrora's success rate?

Skyrora 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 Skyrora's next launch?

Skyrora XL | Maiden flight, set for 2027 from Launch Pad Fredo. Launch Library files only the year, so the date is a placeholder. Launch times are no-earlier-than targets and can move.

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

Skyrora 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 Skyrora based?

United Kingdom. Launch Library lists it as a private operator, founded in 2017.
