Launch America is a public–private partnership between United States and multiple space companies, closely related to the Commercial Crew Development program.

The first space launch under the Launch America banner occurred at the May 2020 SpaceX Crew Dragon Demo-2 space mission, the first launch of astronauts by a wholly commercial provider mission in the world, the first U.S. astronaut space launch in a decade, and the first SpaceX crewed space launch.[1][2][3]
