Beijing Zhongke Aerospace Exploration Technology Co., Ltd. is the first domestic aerospace enterprise with mixed ownership, and it is also the target enterprise that Oriental Aerospace Port focuses on introducing. Relying on the scientific research strength and resource advantages of the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Aerospace Flight Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Aerospace Science and Technology has been committed to the research and development and integration of space technology and aerospace vehicles as a platform for the transformation of major national scientific research projects, as well as the transformation and provision of technological achievements. Aerospace launch service. The Lijian-1 rocket project also adds a brand-new name card to the Oriental Space Port, which will surely promote the construction of the Oriental Space Port to take a solid step forward.
[Lijian-1 Yao-10 carrier rocket is scheduled to be launched in August Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Experimental Zone ]
On the week of 14th August Kinetica-1 Y10 is scheduled to lift off in approximately 55 hours. On board the flight, we have a pair of payloads from Mexico. The launch of ThumbSat-1/2 marks the first-ever collaboration between the North American and Chinese commercial space industry.
Mexico’s first commercial satellite of the new era is ready for launch, and the Kinetica-1 Y10 Carrier rocket is opening up a new era of international cooperation! Commercial Space Space Exploration Assistance Plan Kinetica-1 Y10 Carrier Launch Rocket ….
The main payload and mission information of the Kinetica-1 Lijian-1 Yao-10 carrier rocket are as follows:
1. Core payload information
The Mexican dual-satellite mission
will launch a pair of ThumbSat-1 and ThumbSat-2 satellites, both developed in Mexico. This marks the first launch collaboration between a North American country and a Chinese commercial space company, marking a breakthrough in Sino-Mexican space cooperation.3611
The total number of satellites and mission objectives
are to carry out a “seven satellites in one rocket” launch mission (including the Mexican double satellites and five other satellites). The satellites will be sent into the predetermined orbit. The specific use has not yet been fully disclosed, but it involves earth observation and technology verification.
. Launch Time and Location
Launch window: August 16, 2025, around 3:35 PM (Beijing time, UTC+8)1112
Launch site : Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Experimental Zone (located near the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center).46
3. Rocket Technology Upgrade
Lightweight structure
The final stage rocket body adopts the “transfer frame-less” design , which reduces weight by 5.03%;
The cables inside the fairing are reduced in weight by 44.6%, significantly increasing the payload space.4
Assembly efficiency is optimized. A new type of satellite bracket
is used for the first time to achieve vertical assembly of satellites, which significantly improves the space utilization of the fairing.4
Reliability has been improved
by streamlining 60.7% of telemetry points and simplifying the layout inside the arrow, laying the foundation for subsequent high-frequency launches.
4. Mission Significance
International influence : This is the first time that China’s commercial space industry has undertaken a satellite launch order from North America, promoting global cooperation.611
Technical verification : further verify the reliability of the “ton-level payload” of the Force Arrow-1 (previously, a total of 63 satellites with a total mass of over 6 tons were launched).
Commercial competitiveness : Consolidate its leading position as the “record holder for multiple satellite launches by Chinese private rockets” (26 satellites launched in one rocket).
Summary
The Lijian-1 Yao-10 rocket has a Sino-Mexico dual satellite as its core payload. Through technological upgrades, it has achieved the efficient launch of “seven satellites in one rocket” . This is not only an international breakthrough in commercial spaceflight, but also another important verification of China’s rocket lightweight and high reliability technology.
