The <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">company </ins>was <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">established </ins>with <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">the express purpose of reducing the cost of transporting goods into space</ins>. The <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">DSC also manufactures </ins>and <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">operates two families of {{wp|launch vehicle|launch vehicles}}, each utilized for different purposes. Its fleet of Dragon rockets classified </ins>as {{wp|<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">small-lift launch vehicle|small-lift launch vehicles</ins>}} <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">(SLVs) are geared primarily for payloads as small as 25 and up to 1</ins>,<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">000 kilograms.

These two factors combined gives </ins>the <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">DSC a unique competitive edge</ins>. <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">The DSC is the successor organization to </ins>the <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Daoan Aeronautical Institute (DAI)</ins>, <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">an independent government agency of Daobac </ins>that <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">was responsible for </ins>the <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">country's civilian space program</ins>.

The <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">strategy was two fold: by privatizing and commercializing the DAI the Daoan government would both reduce government expenditure as it no longer needed to provide funding for the organization </ins>and <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">also generate revenue through the new commercial entity</ins>. <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">It would also preserve Daobac's space launch capability.
