Chinese company Deep Blue Aerospace plans to start launching space tourists in 2027


The ticket price is about $210,000.

Deep Blue, which is based in the eastern province of Jiangsu, announced on Wednesday (Oct. 23) that it plans to start launching paying customers to suborbital space in 2027. In Wednesday's statement, Deep Blue Aerospace — which is also developing a reusable orbital rocket called Nebula-1 — said it plans to sell its first two tickets during a live event today (Oct. 24). CAS Space, a spinoff from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is working on a crewed suborbital vehicle of its own and could be up and running in a few years as well, if all goes according to plan.
