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.
China- People’s Republic of China’s 51st Launch This Year At 7:33 AM Beijing time today, my country successfully launched five satellites—Tianyi-48, Gande-1 01, Xiguang-2 03, Jitianxing A-04, and Yinglong Fengguang-1—using the Lijian-1 Y15 carrier rocket from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Test Zone. The satellites successfully entered their predetermined orbits, marking a complete success for the mission. This mission was the 15th flight of the Lijian-1 carrier rocket.
At 7:33 a.m. on July 24, 2026, the Lijian-1 Y15 carrier rocket successfully launched 5 satellites from the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Test Zone, bringing the total number of satellites launched into space to 110, with a total payload mass of over 16 tons. It has become the only civilian commercial rocket model in China to launch more than 100 satellites in total.
