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

No scheduled flight names Space One 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.

Space One has nothing on the schedule we can see, which runs to 2039-12-31 00:00:00Z. Its missions show up here once a launch date is published.

All 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 Space One flown?
Space One has flown 3 launches under its own name. 0 succeeded and 3 failed. That counts launches it flew itself, not missions or payloads it contributed to.
What is Space One's success rate?
0.0%. That's 0 successful flights out of 3 attempts.
When is Space One's next launch?
Space One has nothing on the schedule EveryLaunch can see, which runs to 2039-12-31 00:00:00Z.
Does Space One fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?
Space One has flown 3 launches under its own name. It isn't the operator on any scheduled flight we can see. 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 Space One based?
Japan. Launch Library lists it as a commercial operator, founded in 2018.
