Deep space is a term used to describe areas of space.

This term is used in Starfleet nomenclature to describe the location of certain types of starbases, outposts and space stations. For example, Deep Space Station K-7 or Deep Space 9 are named based on their deep space locales. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; DS9)

According to records, the USS Farragut was the first deep space assignment of Lieutenant James Kirk. (TOS: "Obsession")

In 2266, on the stand in a court martial proceeding, Dr. McCoy was cited on record as an expert in psychology, especially space psychology, which was defined as "patterns which develop in the close quarters of a ship during long voyages in deep space." (TOS: "Court Martial")

In 2268, Spock described the damage of space probes Nomad and Tan-Ru as occurring in deep space. Later, Captain Kirk ordered the errant amalgam of the two probes beamed to a set of coordinates that were specified as being in deep space. (TOS: "The Changeling")

Kirk also specified deep space as a target when Redjac, inhabiting the body of Hengist, was transported off the Enterprise. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")

When Lieutenant Mira Romaine came aboard USS Enterprise, Dr. McCoy and Scotty had a discussion about how their experience told them that someone's first trip into deep space can affect them. (TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")

The USS Voyager was the first Federation ship which tested a Class nine warp drive in deep space. (VOY: "Relativity")

After the first contact with the Voyager in 2374, Starfleet redirected two deep space vessels toward Voyager's position. (VOY: "Life Line")

It is never mentioned what the exact definition of "deep space" is, but it is clear that some Federation ships are ordered to "deep space missions" or that some starbases are called "deep space stations"
