Deep Blue Aerospace will put the tickets up for sale at 6 p.m. (1000 GMT) on Thursday and plans to make more available next month. Passengers will be taken on a suborbital flight, meaning the rocket will reach outer space but not enter orbit.
Other Chinese companies have announced plans to enter the space tourism sector. In May, state-backed CAS Space said it would launch space tourism flights by 2028.
