One Rocket, Ten Satellites: Launch Success
This marks the first large-scale deployment mission for a satellite internet constellation.
At 14:26 Beijing time on September 15, 2026, the Zhuque-2E Y7 rocket (ZQ-2E Y7) lifted off from LandSpace's liquid oxygen-methane launch pad at the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Test Zone, successfully delivering 10 Qianfan polar-orbit Group 19 satellites belonging to Shanghai Spacecom Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. into their designated orbit. The flight test mission was a complete success.
On August 19, the Zhuque-3 Y2 rocket launched from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Test Zone, with its first stage landing as planned at the Zhuque-3 landing site in Minqin County, Gansu Province. This marks another major breakthrough for China in reusable rocket technology — Zhuque-3 has become China's first launch vehicle to successfully reach orbit and achieve a land-based recovery.
This mission was the ninth flight of the Zhuque-2 series and the first large-scale satellite internet constellation deployment mission for the series. LandSpace has established regularized commercial launches of the Zhuque-2E and continues to advance engineering reusability verification of the Zhuque-3. The company will keep improving its ability to deliver stable, efficient access to space, providing launch capacity to support China's satellite internet development and the scaled growth of its commercial space sector.
