Tickets to outerspace go on sale from Chinese Aerospace firm.

Deep Blue Aerospace has put tickets on sale for a trip into outer space to occur sometime in 2027.

The Chinese Jiangsu Deep Blue Aerospace Technology Company indicates that whilst there may only be two tickets on offer for its suborbital flight at the moment,  more will be released to the market in November. The price per person at the moment is about £162,400, or CNY1.5 million for a flight that is expected to last just 12 minutes. 

The company says it will use reclaimable and reusable Nebula-1 rockets to achieve the flights on a cost-effective basis, with tests scheduled to take place early next year. Deep Blue will use a six-window crew module that is expected to have a width of 3.5 metres and have a height of a fraction over 4 metres. The company says it will be able to carry six passengers and is expected to have a lifespan of up to 50 flights.

In a statement, the company said: "After the Nebula-1 rocket will undergo multiple recovery and reuse tests in 2025, the Deep Blue Aerospace crew spacecraft-rocket combination will also undergo dozens of tests in 2026 to ensure the safety and reliability of suborbital manned travel, and officially start suborbital travel commercialization in 2027."

In July 2021, Deep Blue Aerospace successfully completed the 10-meter liquid oxygen & kerosene rocket. On October 13, 2021, Deep Blue Aerospace successfully completed the 100-meter liquid oxygen & kerosene rocket. On May 7, 2022, Deep Blue Aerospace successfully completed the 1000-meter liquid oxne rocket. On September 29,2022, Deep Blue Aerospace completed China's first commercial aerospace enterprise finished liquid oxygen & kerosene engine reignition. On October 8, the same engine carried out the second start-up test again without stepping down. The first start-up engine worked for 20 seconds, and the second start-up engine worked for 20 seconds, which was a complete success again.

In June 2023, the reusable engine "LT-R1" independently developed by Deep Blue Aerospace was successfully tested on the vertical test bench newly put into use by Deep Blue Aerospace. On June 29, the whole system of "LT-R1' was tested again and entered the normal test stage. In July, Deep Blue Aerospace completed the first fairing separation test in China using a non-pyrotechnic connection unlocking mechanism. In August, Deep Blue Aerospace's "LT-R1" engine was successfully tested for 120 seconds on the first vertical test bed. On August 15, "LT-R1" was successfully tested for the first three times in China. On August 23, Deep Blue Aerospace completed three start-up tests of the first domestic liquid oxygen & kerosene engine in full fight sequence. On October 18, the 420-second long-range test run of the Deep Blue Aerospace liquid oxygen & kerosene Engin"LT-R1" was successful. On November 20, the 40% -100% online variable thrust test of the Deep Blue Aerospace Liquid Oxygen Kerosene Engine "Thunderbolt R1" was successful. In December, the landing leg deployment test of the Deep Blue Space "Nebula-1" liquid recoverable launch vehicle was successful.

From December 2023 to January 2024, the complete swing test of the Thunder-R1 engine of Deep Blue Aerospace achieved complete success. In March 2024, the testing of the three-engine state power system of the first sub-stage of the Deep Blue Space "Nebula-1" rocket was successfully completed.

The next step for the company will be to carry out the vertical recovery flight verification of the first stage of the "Nebula-1" carrier rocket as planned. It will achieve the launch and recovery of the "Nebula-1" carrier rocket in late 2024 or early 2025. The commercialization of scale and ushering in a new era of liquid recyclable and reusable carrier rockets in China. Commercial aerospace has unlimited prospects and space. As a member of this sunrise industry, Deep Blue Aerospace will, according to its website, uphold a pragmatic, innovative, rigorous, and efficient style, and aspire to become a promoter of the space transportation industry.

Deep Blue is one of more than a dozen Chinese aerospace companies that have been founded in recent years to take advantage of a rapidly growing commercial space flight industry.
