Jiangsu Deep Blue Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 深蓝航天; lit. 'Deep Blue Aerospace') is a private space launch enterprise founded in November 2016 by Huo Liang. [1] The company is located in the Jiangsu province on the East coast of China. It is engaged in the development of reusable rockets. [2]
The company is developing the medium-class orbital launch vehicle “Nebula-1.” The rocket will use the 20-ton-thrust kerolox engine named Leiting-20. [1] [3]
In October 2021, the company completed a 100-meter level launch and landing test with its Nebula M1 VTVL test stage. [4] In January 2022, the company secured nearly $31.5 million in funding. [5] [6] [7] On April 19, the company announced a new round of funding led by CMBC Int’l Holdings, which will be put towards developing the Nebula-1, the "Thunder" engine series, and other manufacturing processes. [8] [9] The amount raised was not disclosed. [8]
On May 6, 2022, the Nebula M1 completed a one kilometer test, that included a vertical takeoff and vertical landing (VTVL) above Tongchuan, Shaanxi Providence. [1] The first orbital launch and recovery of the Nebula-1 is planned for late 2024. [1] [10]
Nebula-2 is a medium to heavy-lift liquid-fuelled rocket powered by liquid oxygen and kerosene capable of lifting 20,000 kg of payload into LEO. The rocket is planned to be launched in late 2025. [11]
Deep Blue Aerospace is in competition with several other Chinese rocket launcher startups including Galactic Energy, LandSpace, LinkSpace, ExPace, i-Space, OneSpace, Orienspace.
Headquartered in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, Deep Blue Aerospace has rocket technology and liquid engine research and development centers in Beijing Yizhuang and Xi'an, Shanxi Province, respectively. It has a manufacturing and testing base of rocket power system in Tongchuan, Shanxi Province.
