Scheduled2
These are launches under UNK’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, UNK is counted in whichever role the current schedule gives 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 Unknown flown?
Unknown hasn't flown any launches under its own name. It has 2 scheduled.
What is Unknown's success rate?
Unknown 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 Unknown's next launch?
Unknown | Owlet-01, set for 2026 from Unknown Pad. Launch Library files only the year, so the date is a placeholder. Launch times are no-earlier-than targets and can move.
Does Unknown fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?
Unknown hasn't flown any launches under its own name. It's the operator on 2 scheduled flights. Another 2 scheduled flights name it and are flown by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and ExPace. 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 Unknown based?
Unknown. Launch Library lists it as an unknown operator.
